Update...

The first post contains the first version of this plugin. Please let me know of any issues/suggesions you may have...

Thanks!

After investigating the Theater skin, I found the Black Glass skin which is based on Theater (I think). However, I found that Black Glass looks better. How about a skin for BG?

Hey Clobber,
Im not positive, but I think the Theatre skin files should work fine on BG. Try them out and let me know if it doesnt work correctly...

Thank you!! I've been looking for a plugin that would display new mail messages on the home page.

If you would like to have the number of New Emails shown on your home page, simply add the following code to the myhome.xml file.

   <control>
      <description>New Email</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <posX>1120</posX>
      <posY>75</posY>
      <label>#newEmail New Emails</label>
      <align>left</align>
      <font>font12</font>
      <textcolor>aaffffff</textcolor>
    </control>

When I added this code to myhome.xml what shows up on my home screen is "#newEmail New Emails"
when i run the plugin, from the plugin menu, it works fine. I can see my emails.
Any idea why it's not displaying properly?

Edit : The process plugin is installed and enabled in the config.

Unicode

Hey, this plugin is promising and could be very useful, but I miss unicode support.
Since I am hungarian, I can't read any of my mails in my language

Great job, anyway. THX!

I just stumbled upon this plugin while just two days ago i found and installed https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/mkmail-imap-mail-viewer-68641/ which seems to do exactly the same thing...
Maybe you guys should team up?

Hey Blitz,
Glad to see your still around!

I found a little bug where it wouldnt initially set the #newEmail property, but it should update it after the first email check (or the first time you have new mail)

Unfortunately no This plugin only supports IMAP mail at the moment...

Hmmm...How can I add unicode support for you?

Hey Bloasfist,
Yes, I knew that MKMail existed, but I wanted more features than what was offered. I tried to PM the developer, but I think he is extremly busy at the present. So I decided to venture on my own and create this new package.

Yeah still hanging out
You were correct, I rebooted (forcing a check upon start-up i presume) and It now it shows the correct # of waiting emails.

This plug in seems to be working great.
I guess the only feature request that i can think of, is maybe pop3 support.
Also with the skype plugin, when you received a call, a screen would pop up and it would ask if you would like to take the call, yes or no.
It would be cool . if that same type of pop-up screen would come up and say you have received a new email. would you like to read it.. yes or no and if you click yes, it takes you directly to the email..
something like that would be neat.

Thanks for another very useful plugin!

I fixed the issue and it will be included in the next release. I also added support for an image, just in case you would want an indicator instead of number of emails.

As far as Pop support is concerned, yes it is possible, but im not sure how easy it would be to impliment. I started down that path, but the emails have to be stored in order to know which mails are new and which ones are not. So it will take some work to get the support in there. I will look at it in more detail over the next few days to see what is possible.

Thanks again for the feedback!
