imap_idle Module for Py3status

This is an out-of-tree module superseding the imap module. This version is very experimental and might crash from time-to-time!

Installation

1. set up a directory for out-of-tree modules, e.g. ~/.config/i3status/modules/
2. copy imap_idle.py and imaplib2.py in your freshly created directory
3. in your i3 config change the bar status_command to --include said directory; e.g.:
   status_command py3status -c ~/.config/i3status/config --include ~/.config/i3status/modules/
4. in your py3status config rename the imap module to imap_idle (both in the order+= section and the configuration section) and add the new setting use_idle = True. (see config.example)

Note

This repository contains the imaplib2 in version 3.5, which has been renamed from imaplib2.py3 to imaplib2.py.
