I have multiple shared gmail accounts that I just want notification if there are unread messages. I made this package to check these accounts and notify me if there are unread messages. This is by no means user-friendly, well-organized, or ready for anyone to use. If you're browsing, feel free to make suggestions.

• An OSX System Tray icon which changes if there are unread messages
• checkgmail.py scrapes gmail atom feed
• readgmail.py reads a configuration file "accounts"

As many of the following as you want in a file called "accounts" in the current working directory:

[accountname]
username = user_here
password = pw_here

• Organize modules
• Create notification system
• Notifications which tell you which account has unread messages
• Port to other operating systems
• UI for adding-removing accounts
• Anything that makes it cool, really.

Just a few notes about modules that might not be default.

• checkgmail.py readmail method requires feedparser
• osxqt4.py requires pyqt4
• iconwx/iconwx2 are just copy-pasted demos of pythonwx I haven't tried yet
