It was innovated by xmailheaders, with a few more handy features like new mail highlighting, multi-language support, lauching regardless of network connection status and auto-reconnecting. Pymailheaders was written from scratch in Python for portability and easiness reasons. IMAP4, POP3 protocols and XML feeds are supported now.Requirements:· Python 2.4 (or above)· PyGTK 2.6 (or above)· GTK 2.6 (or above)INSTALLATIONFor *ubuntu users, all you need to do is to install python-gtk2 package. And then all the dependencies will be met by the package management system. You can simply type the following command in a terminal to get it done.sudo apt-get install python-gtk2It should be similar in other distributions.You do not need to install this program, just run pymailheaders.py with appropriate arguments.USAGE:On the first time running Pymailheaders, you have to provide all mandatory options, namely server type, server address, user name and password (if required), from the command line. pymailheaders.py -t imap -s express.cites.uiuc.edu -a -u zeegeek -p classified -eAfter successfully launching Pymailheaders, you can omit all arguments except for '-c' if you use another configuration file in future launches. Everything else can be set using Pymailheaders' GTK+ settings dialog by right clicking on Pymailheaders' window. Add a '&' mark at the end of the command to make it run in background. pymailheaders.pyThe following demonstrates how to run Pymailheaders for different protocols on command line. For IMAP4 mailboxes, you need to set server type as imap and provide server URL, username and password. If your server supports encrypted connection, you also have to set the ssl option. The following example establishes a secured connection with '-e' argument,pymailheaders.py -t imap -s express.cites.uiuc.edu -a -u zeegeek -p classified -e -i 60To use pymailheaders with POP3 mailbox, it is basically the same as doing it with IMAP4 mailbox. The only thing you need to change is server type. For example, pymailheaders.py -t pop -s express.cites.uiuc.edu -a -u zeegeek -p classified -e -i 60If you have a Gmail account and you want to check for new mails, just set server type to feed and server to gmail.

If your feed provider does not require authentication, you do not need to provide username and password.
