2 written by : Sylvain Tremblay <stremblay@gmail.com>
3 release date : September 09, 2006
9 To compile, simply invoke the "make" command.
15 To install the program (in /usr/local/bin), run : "make install"
16 To install the man pages (in /usr/local/man/man1), run : "make install-man"
22 The wmckgmail program is independent for each user. To be able to use it, you
23 need to create a folder in the user home directory ($HOME/.wmckgmail).
25 In this folder, you need to create the configuration file ($HOME/.wmckgmail/config).
27 This configuration file works in "<key> <value>" pairs. There is two mandatory
28 entries that needs to be defined :
30 uname <gmail username>
31 pass <gmail user password>
33 There is also an optional parameter used to define the interval (in seconds)
34 between each new emails verification. If you don't define this value, a default
35 of 300 seconds (5 minutes) will be used.
37 pollinterval <number of seconds between each verification>
41 It is strongly recommended to set the permissions on the configuration file to
42 something like "600" or "400" as your gmail account password is clearly written
