*** CONFIGURATION ***
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
The wmckgmail program is independent for each user. To be able to use it, you
|
|
need to create a folder in the user home directory ($HOME/.wmckgmail).
|
|
|
|
In this folder, you need to create the configuration file ($HOME/.wmckgmail/config).
|
|
|
|
This configuration file works in "<key> <value>" pairs. There is two mandatory
|
|
entries that needs to be defined :
|
|
|
|
uname <gmail username>
|
|
pass <gmail user password>
|
|
|
|
There is also an optional parameter used to define the interval (in seconds)
|
|
between each new emails verification. If you don't define this value, a default
|
|
of 300 seconds (5 minutes) will be used.
|
|
|
|
pollinterval <number of seconds between each verification>
|
|
|
|
--- WARNING ---
|
|
|
|
It is strongly recommended to set the permissions on the configuration file to
|
|
something like "600" or "400" as your gmail account password is clearly written
|
|
into it.
