Filed Under cGmail, gtk, python |
Today I’ve released a maintence version of cGmail. This version include some nasty bugs fix.
- No sound bug (Now it should work well)
- Pop3 bug. This bug prevented cGmail to notify correctly incoming mails on pop3 accounts. Now it works
- Autostart option bug. In cGmail 0.4 autostart option in preferences menu don’t worked well when the ~/.config/autostart dir was not previously created
I hope you enjoy the new version. Please download it from http://cgmail.tuxfamily.org/

Hello! Thank you for the great work on cGmail this far. I’ve been using checkgmail for quite a while, but cGmail fits a lot better in GNOME, and the Keyring integration is a huge plus! I think I am going to start using your application, but there are a few things I’m missing.
The most important is checking Labels for new mail. I have set up some filters to put labels and skip the inbox on certain emails, to avoid cluttering the inbox. Will you add support for checking labels?
Not as important is the ability to mark a mail as read or to archive it from the tooltip, but that might not go well with the GNOME HIG?
Once again thanks!
Thanks for your interest for my app. I will try to implement checking labels feature but if you want that I don’t forget your request please put it here https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cgmail/
I will try to not forget it anyway I promise you
Hello!
I have made Czech .po file for cGmail. May I send it to you? Can you please include it in next version?
I’m sorry, I can’t find your email. So, can you please send me an email and I will send you the czech .po file.
Thank you very much.
I’ve mailed to you. Send me your translation and I will add to cGmail next version
Hello there, and thank you for making such a useful software. However, I have a question about it:
When I try to add an account with a passsword with special caracters, the program doesn’t work. It never checks the inbox and when closed it doesn’t save the configuration. If I run it on a terminal , it outputs the following:
Warning: reserved chars founded on *my password*
You cannot use ‘=’ or ‘;’ or ‘\n’
I’ve been looking for an email to contact you, but couldn’t find any.
Thanks in advance
Sure I must improve this. You have that error becouse = or ; is in your password? Or for other reasons?
Its because = and ; are on my password, I guess. If I try it with the other account I have with a simpler password, it works.
Thanks, I will fix this as soon as I can
Thank you, I’ll be on my mail if u need some testing
I second the Labels issue. I also have filters set up and I don’t get notified of mail that gets labelled by filters.
1 other question, whenever I start Gnome, the Keyring Manager asks for my password, can that be disabled?
Labels are now supported into development version so be patient or try the bazaar version. On my system (ubuntu gutsy) when keyring ask me for a password I can check an option to unlock automatically the keyring on login. I think this is a pam-keyring feature. Please look if it is installed on your system. If not you should install it
thank you for your great work.
i have a question: why does cgmail adds a keyring named “default”, while network-manager uses a keyring named “login”? using the same keyring allow the users to use both applications after only entering their password once.
Hey, fantastic work, love the program; I’d like to request a feature please!
Having Gmail for your domain working fully with cgmail would be fantastic, at the moment, if I add my username as “name@mydomain.com”, with my usual password, it will check my emails successfully, but it directs me to gmail when I click “Go to mail account”.
Dissecting the URLs for Gmail and Gmail for your domain, it seems as though it’d be quite simple to fix. You’d need to detect an @ in the username of the account, then take everything after the @ (i.e the domain name) and add it to the url mail.google.com/a/, so for example:
1. Checks my username me@mydomain.com, notices @ symbol
2. Takes mydomain.com in a var
3. Url becomes https://mail.google.com/a/mydomain.com
Hope its simple enough to fix, cheers!
@lior
please read the previous comment, you could use pam-keyring so you don’t need to insert a password at all.
@Keith Cirkel
I think that your solution will not always work. When I log to my gmail account I simply use my nickname as username without the @gmail.com. In google for your domain you can authenticate using only your nickname?
Example: your mail is test@yourdomain.com
You can authenticate using both test or test@yourdomain.com as username? If yes your solution will not work and cgmail should request the domain name as a parameter in the account configuration dialog
ferema, I just checked, and I am unable to check my emails for my google for your domain account, without the @yourdomain.com. So, using your example, I can only authenticate using “test@yourdomain.com” but not “test”. So the method I stated above would work perfectly. As an aside, I beleive there is a gmail firefox extension which uses the same principles, requesting people use the “@yourdomain.com” in the username to authenticate.
ok thanks. I will implement this function as soon as I can
Hi man! Congratulations for the great app! I’ve seen some screenshots and it looks very good ! But I’d like to install it on my Fedora 7 and I can’t. Could you give me some help?
Hi,
I have a fancy problem here. Installed the application and after I have created ~/.config/autostart manually it is available on every Gnome start.
It does not accept any mailaccount, it does not show any type of errors, the mail box is allways empty.
For sure there is a simple solutuion for this.
I use gutsy
Thank you for any hint on that
I got Gutsy. I installed package 0.4.1, and when i try to start cgmail from shell, i get error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/cgmail”, line 18, in

What to do? Maybe some dependecies not satisfied, but nothing was reported as missing when i was installing this package…
