Both troubled users show the 'fetch' error.
Since they are all three gmail accounts, i am wondering what could be the difference in the connection process.
Starting
.config/ImapQuickCheck/imap_check_sql_final.py
i get:
sys.exc_info() <type 'exceptions.KeyError'>
Any ideas?
Thank you

Clicking 'check now' pops up a panel reading:
"Unread mail found in the following accounts:
Mail preview"
I am using kde 4.4beta2 and i am trying to connect to connect to my gmail account.
Maybe anything is wrong in filling in the account form?
Here is my guess:
Name: <Any title>
Protocol: IMAP SSL
Host: imap.gmail.com
User: <my account>@gmail.com
Password: <my password>
Is that correct?
Thank you

today a mail arrived that caused ImapQuickCheck to report a fetch error and to not display any unread messages for that account.
It seems to be related to a mail having that subject in the email headers:
Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?Alles_=C3=BCber_Windows_7_|_Kostenlos:_65_Fotoabz=C3?=
=?UTF-8?Q?=BCge_|_Selbstmangement:_Zeitplanung_|_Kostenlos_bei_Google_W?=
=?UTF-8?Q?erbung_schalten_(im_Wert_von_30_EUR)?=
I've made some tests and found another problematic header (only "Alles" is displayed as subject):
Subject: Alles
=?iso-8859-1?q?=FCber_Windows_7_=7C_Kostenlos=3A_65_Fotoabz=FCge_=7C?=
=?iso-8859-1?q?_Selbstmangement=3A_Zeitplanung_=7C_Kostenlos_bei_Google?=
=?iso-8859-1?q?_Werbung_schalten?= (im Wert von 30 EUR)
Looks like ImapQuickCheck doesn't like multiline subjects.

Andreas

now that I got it running it looks very promising and might eventually replace mail-notification :)
I have some feature requests:
1) The "Edit selected account" button has no colors and I first thought it's disabled. Maybe this can be changed.
2) Beautify the "New Mail" popup. I think it should be more compact, e.g. display label and value in a single row (the same as it's in the systray icon). Maybe you want to take a look at the first screenshot at http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/.
3) Preview all new mails in the "New Mail" popup. It seems that only the most recent one is shown.
4) Definable actions on mouseclicks at the systray icon, like run mail-client, check for new mail...
5) Rearrange the systray popupmenu.
5a) I think that "Preferences", "Acounts" and "Info" are not that important after anything is set up and should be moved to a submenu.
5b) Instead of "Unread Mail" there should be a submenu for each account (or a submenu for "Accounts"). And for each account there should be some actions, like what's now the "Unread Mail" submenu.
6) Move some global settings into the accounts settings. For example I have accounts I need to query often and I accounts I can't query often (limited by provider). And then there are accounts I'm using through WebMail and others I access through a mail client, so it would be very useful (at least for me ;)) to have a different mail client setting for each account (running the mail client should then move to the submenu as said in 5b.
7) More protocols POP3, local mbox...
OK, that's quite a lot, but maybe others find some of them useful too.
BTW: if you need translation help, then I'll can take the German part.

Andreas

All of your proposals are very interesting but i am afraid that i don't have that much time to develop an app as full featured as mail-notification for now.
Anyway, I can give you some kind of an answer to the following points :
1/ well, I quite agree, got to find a more suitable icon.
2/ the Qt4 showMessage() instruction used for the popup does not allow fancy stuff to display in. I could eventually replace it with a command like: kdialog -passivepopup
3/ I have wondered the question of displaying many messages in the popup too, but I finally found it very 'intrusive' : half your desktop is suddenly showing the unread messages. I personnally rather something more discrete. This could eventually be an option in the Settings panel.
4/ doubleclick assigned to Email Reader
middleclick assigned to Email composer
5/ well, this is a point of view
6/ this would involve deep changes and quite some time to code
7/ Imap protocol makes it easy to retrieve 'Unseen' mail. In the contrary, pop3 does not. Local mbox : i dont know. Gmail could be not that difficult to implement.

thanks for your comments!
I don't want a mail-notification clone, ImapQuickCheck is almost fine for me.
2) OK, I see. I've now modified your code and added support for kdialog passive popups. If you are interested I'll make it configurable and provide a patch.
3) You're right. I think I will add this while also working on #2.
4) Ah, didn't know of the doubleclick feature.
5) That's right, and I can live without it.
6) It's a kind of "nice to have".
Are you interested in a German language translation?
Do you accept patches if I will finish #2 and #3?
Regards,
Andreas

I'm trying v1.1. but I can't add accounts.
Every field on the "Accounts settings" tab is disabled/grayed except the "+" sign, but this one has no effect if clicked.
Any idea what's going wrong here?

You probably don't have the Sql module for Qt installed. Check the python-pysqlite2 package too.

Thanks for your reply.
I think I've all required packages installed (on Gentoo):
- dev-python/pysqlite 2.5.5
- x11-libs/qt-sql 4.5.1
- dev-lang/python 2.6.2
Everything emerged using "sqlite" USE flag.
Can I enable some debugging to find missing modules?

yes, it checks the INBOX folder on your imap server.
You may want to set an alternate inbox in the accounts settings dialog.
Setting various alternate inboxes is not currently supported, but this could be an idea for a future version.
