Despite the increasing spread mobile access to the Internet, there are still enough places where not only there is no Internet, but also mobile connection it barely works. If you are expecting important letter, constant check mail in such a situation turns into a real punishment. It is much more convenient to be able to receive a notification via SMS when you receive the desired letter. Below you will find out how to do this.

We present you with detailed step by step guide, with which you can receive on your phone SMS upon receipt of certain or all letters in the post office Gmail account.

1. Open Gmail. Create a new shortcut called Send text. To do this, click on the link in the left panel Create a shortcut and enter the name.

2. Open Google Calendar and create a new calendar called Gmail. All letters will be marked here, the arrival of which will be sent to you by SMS. This is also a very useful feature.

3. Open Google Drive and create new table with any name. In this table we open the menu Tools, there we click the item Collection of scripts.

4. B Script gallery we find a script called Gmail SMS alerts v.2. Click the button Install. Then close the gallery window.

5. Let's return to our table. Here on the menu Tools choose Script editor. The script we added for editing will open in a new window.

6. In the editing window, go to the menu Resources and select the item Triggers of the current script. In the pop-up window that appears, set the frequency of the script.

7. Save the script and run it for execution. We agree with the warning and allow the script to run.

8. Now we need to set the rules by which messages will be selected for notifications. To do this, you need to create in Gmail new filter, which will select letters based on the condition you specify, for example from a specific sender or on a specified topic, and assign them the Send text label that we created in the very first step. If you want to receive notifications about all letters arriving in your Inbox, then specify as a condition Contains words is:inbox.

That's all. If you did everything correctly, now when you receive it in your mailbox Gmail letters meeting the conditions you specified, you will receive a notification on your mobile phone, and this event will be recorded in the calendar.

Some time ago I wanted a very simple thing - so that when I receive a new email, a notification about this would appear somewhere in the corner of the screen. Moreover, I only needed notifications, and not a full-fledged email client, since I prefer to read mail through the web interface. After a short search, I was able to find a couple of relevant applications.

Ready-made solutions and what I didn’t like about them

The first program is called PopTray Minus. A quick study of it revealed that it was not suitable for me. Firstly, the minimum interval at which email is checked is, for some reason, five minutes. Personally, I would like to check my email every minute. Secondly, a saved mailbox password in base64 was found in the ~/.poptrayrc file. There is no option to encrypt passwords.

After unpacking the archive, you need to install the script dependencies. You can do this either manually by looking at the names required modules at the beginning of the script, or automatically by running the INSTALLDEPS.sh script from under root. By the way, in Lately I include the script for automatic installation dependencies in all your Perl projects. Very comfortably! I came across the idea on koorchik’s blog.

In addition to Perl modules, you will also need the zenity (to display notifications) and gpg (to not reveal passwords) utilities:

sudo apt-get install zenity gnupg

Create a config ~/.email_notifier with approximately the following content:

{
"main" :(
"check_interval" : 60
} ,
"pop3_list" : [
{
"user" : " [email protected]" ,
"password" : "secret" ,
"host" : "pop.yandex.ru"
} ,
{
"user" : " [email protected]" ,
"password" : "secret" ,
"host" : "pop.gmail.com" ,
"ssl" : 1 ,
"delete" : 1
} ,
{
"user" : " [email protected]" ,
"password" : "secret" ,
"host" : "pop.mail.ru" ,
"ssl" : 1
}
]
}

I hope there won't be any questions here. Just be careful with the delete flag! If it is installed, the script will command the POP3 server to delete all existing messages. Different email services behave differently in this case, which I will mention below.

The config has been created, all dependencies are installed, now we try to run the script:

./ email-notifier.pl --no-master-password

If we see notifications like these:

… it means everything is OK. Otherwise, you will likely see error messages that will help you understand the problem.

Finally, we encrypt configuration file:

gpg --cipher-algo AES256 --digest-algo SHA512 -o OUT -a --symmetric IN

Enter the password twice and replace the configuration file with an encrypted one. Make sure that the unencrypted config is deleted. If anything, it can always be obtained from the encrypted one with the command:

gpg -o OUT --decrypt IN

We stop the script and register it somewhere for autorun, this time without the flag - -no-master-password . Upon startup, a window will appear asking you to enter a master password.

Subtleties of setting up mail on GMail/Mail.ru/Yandex

As I already noted, different email services behave differently when deleting emails via POP3. For example, GMail can be configured so that messages become invisible to the POP3 client, but remain accessible through the web interface:

Experimentally, it was possible to establish that Mail.ru always behaves this way and this cannot be changed through the settings. But Yandex.Mail, when deleting a letter via POP3, always places it in the “Deleted Items” folder.

Please note that the described behavior of Yandex, Mail and Jimail may change at any time. If you are used to storing in the mail valuable information, I would recommend changing your mind and not deleting anything via POP3. Instead, for example, you can create a folder that is not accessible via POP3 and transfer letters to it after they are read.

Questions for readers

First of all, isn’t this script of mine complete garbage? If so, why? If not, then tell me which of the following you think is most lacking:

• Graphical interface and tray icons;
• Discoveries specific URL when you click on a notification;
• IMAP and RSS support;
• Internationalization;
• Demonization;
• Storing passwords in specialized applications;
• Determining the uniqueness of letters using UIDL and TOP;
• Your own option;

Secondly, I didn’t have the opportunity to check how compatible zenity is with KDE and all sorts of awesome stuff. Could you please check this? And thirdly, according to tradition, other comments (anecdotes on the topic, real-life incidents, advertisements for the sale of purebred kittens) are also welcome.
