Gmail Watcher

No New Mails Alert

Asked by Andi

Hello,
i have Ubuntu Lucid installed and Gmail Watcher. When a new Mail arrives, the program doesn't tell me anything. I'm behind a router - so maybe some ports are blocked (which one do i have to open?). I entered a false Password to see if it tells me, that connection can't be established, but nothing happens.
Don't know what else to tell you...
Thanks for this Program!

Could you run gmailwatcher from terminal, let it run for a while and tell me what it prints there?

I recently switched from urllib2 to httplib2 as urllib2 had a memory leak bug. May be httplib2 does not automatically take your proxy settings into consideration.

I'm soon switching to IMAP. If this is a httplib2 issue, it'll go away then.

Thank You.

Andi, I just noticed this

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.cache/gmailwatcher'

in the output you've provided. It looks like you are running gmailwatcher as root. Don't do that.
Run it as a normal user.
