A Gmail notification widget for your desktop or panel.
This widget is designed to be docked in a panel, or added to your desktop, and display the number of unread messages in multiple Gmail accounts. Clicking on the widget will open the Gmail account in your favorite browser. The widget is written in python, meaning that there is no compiling necessary as long as you have the required script-engine installed.
For more screenshots visit the project homepage.

Please let me know if you find any problems or would like some new features included. The best place to request new features is on the project's homepage.
How to install:
- Download the latest version
- Uninstall any previous version (see instructions below)
- Run the following command in the directory where the file was placed (updated to reflect the actual filename):
plasmapkg -i gmail-plasmoid-0.7.20.plasmoid
- The widget should now be listed in your "Add Widgets" screen
Note: If you get missing script-engine errors when loading the widget you need to install the plasma python script-engine (in openSUSE this requires the "python-kdebase4" and "python-devel" packages, in Fedora this requires the "kdebase-workspace-python-applet" package, in Kubuntu this requires the "plasma-scriptengine-python" package)
How to uninstall:
- Run the following command at the command line:
plasmapkg -r gmail-plasmoid

In gmail-plasmoid 0.7.20 the version for feedparser.py is 5.0.1, and the last version is 5.1.3.
I found at : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedparser/ , I replace in gmail-plasmoid-0.7.20/contents/code/feedparser, reinstall and now all work fine.
If that help you.

This is the best plasmoid for gmail checking, the notification ringtone makes this even better.

I have a glitchy internet connection. Sometimes my wifi connection to the router is still on but no network traffic is successfully going through. I have no clue what's wrong, but it happens to all devices on the network. Mostly, it means that web pages just sit there trying to load and don't get anywhere, and eventually give up. By turning off and back on the wifi connection, I usually am back and running. Reseting the router works too.
But since installing the gmail-plasmoid, if it fails to connect in this situation (where there is a router connection, but the real internet access isn't going through), it makes the whole plasma desktop hang. And if I get the network connection stopped and try to start it again, the whole KDE session goes down to a blank screen.
So the plasmoid is missing some necessary command to let go of the system when it fails to connect. It is a problem with it not giving up I think. It needs something that says that if no ping back occurs or no data or something within a couple seconds, then give up and try again later. I think that would solve it.
Until this is fixed, I can't use it at all.

This was one of my favorite applications and it hanging plasma was the most annoying issue it has for me.The upstream seem to be dead and hence i decided to replicate the program in Qt/C++ and the repository is at: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/qCheckGMail
All features are in and will make version 1.0.0 in about a week's time.

Incidentally, I just got rid of this and went with KGmailNotifier and that widget works fine. I don't remember if there's any reason I'd prefer this…
