Script: inbox-imap-pythongpg

A script that shows if there are unread mails in your IMAPs inbox. Passwords are encrypted with gpg.

Configuration

You must have a gpg key to secure your password in configuration files. Encrypt your password using your gpg key like this.

echo 'your password' > /tmp/imappass
gpg -er 'your gpg keyid' /tmp/imappass
mv /tmp/imappass.gpg ~/.imappass.gpg
shred /tmp/imappass && rm /tmp/imappass

For Gmail, you must allow less secure apps.
