## An extensible mail notification daemon
Mailnag is a daemon program that checks POP3 and IMAP servers for new mail.
On mail arrival it performs various actions provided by plugins.
Mailnag comes with a set of desktop-independent default plugins for
visual/sound notifications, script execution etc. and can be extended
with additional plugins easily.
__This project needs your support!__

## Installation
### Ubuntu
Mailnag has an official [Ubuntu PPA](https://launchpad.net/~pulb/+archive/mailnag).
Issue the following commands in a terminal to enable the PPA and install Mailnag.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulb/mailnag
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mailnag
As of Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring), Mailnag is also available in the official repos.
Run `sudo apt-get install mailnag` in a terminal to install it.
### Debian
Mailnag is available in Debian stable and unstable.
Run `sudo apt-get install mailnag` in a terminal to install it.
### Fedora
As of Fedora 17, Mailnag is available in the official Fedora repos.
Just run `yum install mailnag` (as root) in a terminal to install the package.
### Arch Linux
Mailnag is available in the official repos.
Please run `pacman -Syu mailnag` (as root) to install the package.
### openSUSE
Mailnag is available in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Run `sudo zypper install mailnag` in a terminal to install it.
### Generic Tarballs
Distribution independent tarball releases are available [here](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag/releases).
Just run `./setup.py install` (as root) to install Mailnag,
though make sure the requirements stated below are met.
###### Requirements
* python (>= 3.5)
* pygobject
* gir-notify (>= 0.7.6)
* gir-gtk-3.0
* gir-gdkpixbuf-2.0
* gir-glib-2.0
* gir-gst-plugins-base-1.0
* python-dbus
* pyxdg
* gettext
* gir1.2-secret-1 (optional)
## Configuration
Run `mailnag-config` to setup Mailnag.
Closing the configuration window will start Mailnag automatically.
### Default Mail Client
Clicking a mail notification popup will open the default mail client specified in `GNOME Control Center -> Details -> Default Applications`.
If you're a webmail (e.g. gmail) user and want your account to be launched in a browser, please install a tool like [gnome-gmail](http://gnome-gmail.sourceforge.net).
### Desktop Integration
By default, Mailnag emits libnotify notifications, which work fine on most desktop environments
but are visible for a few seconds only. If you like to have a tighter desktop integration
(e.g. a permanently visible indicator in your top panel) you have to install an appropriate
extension/plugin for your desktop shell. Currently the following desktop shells are supported:
* GNOME-Shell ([GNOME-Shell extension](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag-gnome-shell))
* KDE ([Plasma 5 applet by driglu4it](https://store.kde.org/p/1420222/))
* Cinnamon ([Applet by hyOzd](https://bitbucket.org/hyOzd/mailnagapplet))
* Elementary Pantheon ([MessagingMenu plugin](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag-messagingmenu-plugin))
* XFCE ([MessagingMenu plugin](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag-messagingmenu-plugin))
Furthermore, I highly recommend GNOME users to install the [GOA plugin](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag-goa-plugin),
which makes Mailnag aware of email accounts specified in GNOME Online Accounts.
### Troubleshooting
__Gmail doesn't work__
If Mailnag is unable to connect to your Gmail account, please try the following solutions:
* Install the [GOA plugin](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag-goa-plugin) to connect via GNOME online accounts
* Have a look at the [FAQ](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag/wiki/FAQ)
* Try to apply [this](https://github.com/pulb/mailnag/issues/190) workaround
__Other issues__
If Mailnag doesn't work properly for you, either examine the system log for errors (`journalctl -b _COMM=mailnag`)
or run `mailnag` in a terminal and observe the output.
