When I select PlasmaMailChecker Settings, nothing happens. How can I fix this?

F1ash

This is what happens when you run more than one instance of a plasmoid, and then one of them was removed . Please, install one copy of the plasmoid.

Hello.
I do not use KDE wallet to manage my passwords.I have it disabled.
Can I use your plasma without it?
I ask because when I try to enter an e-mail I get the error "Access Denied" and you answered something about Wallet on the first page.
Thank you.

As alternative, you can use kwallet with empty password, so it will not ask password at start every time. But this is big security hole.

Another variant is to use akonadi mail accounts, so plasmamailchecker connects directly to akonadi and don't need the password.

I think the Kwallet will open with other applications anyway, and it would be annoying.
Is Akonadi related to Nepomuk, right? I have also disabled Nepomuk, haha (High CPU usage).
Thank you both, anyway.

F1ash

Akonadi has its own tasks and can work independently and without Nepomuk.

Ok, but when I try to add the string from the example section to Kmail on Akonadi Mail Resources I get "Access Denied" and if I launch the plasmoid from konsole:
plasmoidviewer(5478)/kdeui (Wallet): The kwalletd service has been disabled
Should I try to add something else instead of what is in the example?

F1ash

The KWallet needed in any case, even with a blank password. EXAMPLES section contains the possible commands to invoke the mail program from KDE-notification. Akonadi accounts do not store passwords in KWallet, but KWallet required for the operation of the plasmoid.

F1ash

Now you can not use the plasmaMailChecker without KDEWallet, because it keeps the mailbox password in encrypted form. Ways to store passwords in clear text or secure password storage capabilities without KDEWallet are not implemented, because there was not need for it.

I get a big X and an error message saying:Unable to load the widget.Script initialization failed.

F1ash

You need to install kdebase-workspace-python-applet (Fedora package name) may be?

KladionicaCity

I don't have that package, but i have searched the repos for packages it might have to do with it and i installed PyKDE4-akonadi and kdebase-runtime-devel.It seem that it did the trick and now the applet works,although every time it checks for mail, the KDE wallet keeps asking me for password,even if i set Always Allow in policy .

F1ash

Which application requires opening KWallet - plasmaMailСhecker or akonadi?
I think you need to increase the timeout settings KWallet to close automatically in case of Wallet its non-use.

I'm trying to set this up with an Akonadi imap account. Everything seems to work.. no errors. Accept.. I don't get notified of new messages. :-)
The Akonadi IMAP resource seems to be functioning ok: it says "ready" and it syncs. I can select and add the resource in MailChecker. "Enable" is checked. But.. no notification of mail. Any idea what's wrong here? How can I help troubleshoot this?
Using version 1. KDE 4.6.3.

F1ash

To get started, try to enable the "Show error messages" in Settings. It must report about the incorrect Akonadi accounts.
You can try to edit your account and find a resource for akonadi account again. Because when you add new objects to Akonadi, the numbers of their resources are subject to change. Therefore MailChecker not notified of the desired object Akonadi, although the mailbox akonadi working properly.

This is definately caused by Akonadi. I deleted its database and let it regenerate one. Then add the imap resource again. It starts syncing the folders then, but fails to fetch messages.. which results in lots of errors. I think i'll have to wait for kde 4.6.5, since 4.6.4 will not be released by Arch Linux (which contains the latest versions of anything kdepim-related). I'm using kdepim-runtime 4.4.11.

hmm.. I think there's a problem with the Akonadi imap resource. In the Akonadi Console, i can see the mail folders of my account.. but it doesn't show the total amount of messages, nor the 'unread' messages. The columns are empty. Also, in the 'debugger' tab of the console, it shows some 'Agentbase' errors. I guess it's better to wait for yet another new kde release, with yet another crappy akonadi version.. ;-)

On some Linux distributions MailChecker works improperly. The reason are names of temporary files with extension: '.Result', '.all', '.new', '.msg', '.content'. These names are randomly generated by function randomString. In my system looks like this: "/dev/shm/ÎÍéWhéÇüŹlÄkTągLiŐbÝđÍWn" and are not readable by python. I replaced call this funtion by new giving similar result.

Line:
str_ = str(randomString(24))
has been replaced by:
str_ = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits) for x in range(24))

MailChecker work properly, after this fix.

Good idea is replaced it by below lines too.
char_set = string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits
str_ = ''.join(random.sample(char_set,24))

Does not work with fastmail IMAP!

F1ash
9 years ago

It`s false. My account in fastmail works.
See for : http://www.fastmail.fm/help/remote_email_access_server_names_and_ports.html

For detailed information try enable the "Show error messages".

Funny, I had just changed the main.py in order to accept my kdewallet, when I saw the new version 0.18. But now I can't change my settings, I'll check on this again after re-login...

Thanks for this nice plasmoid, but I'm afraid, I can't use it now as my imap has TLS encryption which is not yet supported. Would it be possible to add this, when you have time?
It would be also nice, if you could configure the notifications in order to start kmail directly when new mail hits your inbox, like in this plasmoid: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/mail_plasmoid?content=98952 - it seems to be unmaintained, unfortunately (can't compile it in SC 4.6).

Kirilo

OK, shame on me, I've just learnt that TLS and SSL are the same...
Anyhow, although I have the same settings as with KMail, with the plasmoid I get the following error message:

_ssl.c:499: error:140770FC:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO
:unknown protocol

F1ash

TLS and SSL are not one and the same.
For SSL need to use port 995 (POP3), port 993 (IMAP4).
