NAME

       gmail-notify - A Gmail Notifier

SYNOPSIS

       gmail-notify

DESCRIPTION

       gmail-notify  Gmail  Notifier  is  a Linux alternative for the notifier program released by Google, it is
       written in Python and provides an attractive and simple way to check for new mail messages.

       Open the notifier.conf file in your favourite text editor and edit the  configuration  options  to  match
       your  system.  Below  is  an  explanation  of  each  option:  (See  notifier.conf.sample  located  in the
       /usr/share/doc/gmail-notify directory for a helpful example)

       gmailusername - fairly self explanatory, must be without the @gmail.com at the end

       gmailpassword - obvious

       browserpath - this is the full path to the browser that you want Gmail Notifier to open  when  you  click
       the popup to goto your Gmail inbox

       voffset  -  this  is the amount (in pixels) the popup will be displaced from the bottom of the screen, it
       will almost definitely need changing to suit your system, ideally, you want it to look like it  came  out
       of  the  bar  along  the  bottom  of the screen the best way to adjust it is to run it initially with the
       default value and then add/remove from it then test again. Higher values result in  the  popup  appearing
       higher up the screen.

       hoffset  - same as above only this is the amount the popup will be displaced from the side of the screen.
       Higher values will displace it more to the left of the screen.

       checkinterval - this is how often Gmail Notifier will check for new mail (in ms), do  NOT  set  it  lower
       than  20000 (20 seconds), or the libgmail library will not keep up, causing many strange side effects. If
       you need to check your mail more than once every 20 seconds, then chances are your famous and don't  have
       time to read your mail anyway.

       animationdelay - this is the amount of time (in ms) that Gmail Notifier will wait before moving the popup
       up one step, when the popup is popping up, to high values will cause the animation to be  jerky,  to  low
       values  will cause tearing at the bottom of the popup. 15ms seems about right. Only small adjustments are
       necessary, best thing is to leave it alone.

       popuptimespan - this is the amount of time before the popup will disappear again after popping up you can
       set this to  whatever you want
