It doesn't compile anymore...

Very well done: quick, clean, efficient, runs good. I'd really like to see this made into a regular application so that mail notices go in the notification area. Any plans to do this?

How can i install in KDE 4.2?
I got this error


PLASMA_INCLUDE_DIR -> KDE4_INCLUDE_DIR or KDE4_INCLUDES, should be already
set anyway

PLASMA_FOUND -> nothing, it's always there if KDE4, version 4.2 or newer
has been found.

If you see this error message in a module within KDE/, update it from svn,
it has been fixed already.

Here is a new gentoo ebuild that compiles the svn version. Make sure that everything from sed -i to || die "Sed failed!" is on one line.

Everyone else can get it by:
svn checkout http://emailnotify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ emailnotify
cd emailnotify
sed -i -e '/${KDE4_INCLUDES}/ a\ ${QT_QTNETWORK_INCLUDE_DIR}' -e 's/${KDE4_PHONON_LIBS}/& ${QT_QTNETWORK_LIBRARY}/' CMakeLists.txt || die "Sed failed!"
cmake ./
make
make install

Sorry, don't write
|| die "Sed failed!"
when using the manual instructions, that should only be in the ebuild.

Hello,

Thanks in advance for the plasmoid (have not started it yet).

There are two things I have noticed:

emailchecker.cpp line 222:
The variable emails should be initialized or it might be used uninitialized.

I had to manually add -lQtNetwork to get the applet linked. Might come from the Kde 4.1.85 version that I use.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Plasma crashes when I try to configure this plasmoid. I'm using Archlinux with KDE 4.1.3

I have this problem, too.
Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

Quick, dirty ebuild for svn :)

(It's working with 4.1.3 from portage)

Fixes to the file plasma-emailnotify.cpp:

1. Change line 42 to read: Quote:setBackgroundHints(NoBackground);

2. Change line 43 to read: Quote:resize(200, 200);

3. Change line 60 to read: Quote:if (hasFailedToLaunch())

4. Change line 242 to read: Quote:sizeHint(Qt::MaximumSize, QSizeF(contentsRect.height(), contentsRect.height()));

I'm not sure that #4 is exactly the same functionality of the original code, but it compiles and runs successfully.

Thanks to the tweaks the make and build process now works. The plasmoid however remains unusable as I can't configure it. When ever I click on the configure button the entire plasma workspace crashes and restarts

bonjour,

Same here. With the tip of roothog I was able to compile the source successfully but since this is my first plasmoid-install I'm not getting the plasmoid working. It does not appear in cashew and I can't find it anywhere else. Can anyone help me please?

I get the same compilation-error on KDE4.1 on archlinux

Hey, just wanted to thank you for this wonderfull plasmoid, it's so handy!
However, you could add an option to center the number of e-mails, so that the plasmoid doesn't look too "strange" when it's in the panel.
In general you should change the text aligment (of the short caption) to left, right, top, down instead of top-left, bottom-left, top-right, bottom-right.
But so far it's a really nice plasmoid!

If you want to make this change yourself, edit the file plasma-emailnotify.cpp at roughly line 250. There's a switch statement that sets the layout positioning to one of four options set in the dialog box. Pick one of the entries, say case 3, and change Qt::AlignLeft to read Qt::AlignHCenter. Then re-make and re-install. Whenever you select "bottom left" in the configuration dialog, the displayed alignment will actually be "bottom center".

I also tried the version in your google svn. I am running kde 4.1 beta 1 from debian

for the moment the kde svn is not supported... stay tuned :)

Plasma crash on Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4.04.

I second that. I'm having the same issue. The plasmoid crashes when I try to configure it it crashes.

Try the svn version :-)

i would like to request a feature. in addition to launching a mail client to read the mail, would it be possible to add a web browser (i.e. firefox or konqueror) to read/open the mail?
the reason i ask/request this is cuz i don't use a mail client, i only use web mail.
thanks for your consideration.
