Core Concepts for the Developer - -Before coding, it's important to understand two key Go concepts we'll be using heavily. - - * **Goroutines (Concurrency):** Think of a goroutine as a very lightweight thread. We will launch a *separate goroutine for each email account*. This allows all accounts to be monitored simultaneously without blocking each other. If one account is slow to respond, the others are unaffected. - * **Channels (Communication):** Channels are the pipes that connect our concurrent goroutines. Our IMAP goroutines will do their work in the background. When they find a new email, they will send the email's details through a channel to the main UI goroutine, which is responsible for updating the system tray menu. This is Go's primary method for safe communication between concurrent tasks. - ------ - -### 3\.

Intern's Development Roadmap - -Here is a suggested plan of attack to make development manageable. - - * **Week 1: Core Logic (Command-Line Only)** - - 1. **Goal:** Get the `config` and `imap` packages working. - 2. **Task:** In `main.go`, temporarily remove all `ui` and `systray` code. - 3. **Task:** Instead of sending to a channel, make the `imap.Client` just `log.Printf()` the details of any new email it finds. - 4. **Test:** Run the app from your terminal. It should connect, log in, and print subjects of unread emails. This confirms the hardest part (IMAP communication) works before adding UI complexity. - - * **Week 2: UI Integration & Concurrency** - - 1. **Goal:** Integrate the System Tray UI and get notifications working. - 2. **Task:** Implement the `ui/tray.go` and `main.go` code as detailed above. - 3. **Task:** Create a simple `assets/icon.go` file with a base64 encoded icon. - 4. **Test:** Run the app. The icon should appear. When you send an email to one of your configured accounts, a desktop notification should pop up and a new item should appear in the tray menu. Clicking the item should open Gmail. - - * **Week 3: Refinement & Packaging** - - 1. **Goal:** Add state management and package the application. - 2. **Task:** Implement the `state/manager.go` package. Its job is to save the highest `UID` for each account to a file. Modify the `imap.Client` to use this state, so it only fetches emails with a `UID` greater than the last seen one. This prevents old "unread" emails from re-appearing on every startup. - 3. **Task:** Improve error handling. What happens if the internet connection drops? The `imap.Client` should attempt to reconnect periodically. - 4. **Task:** Follow the previous guide to create a `.deb` package for easy installation. Write a `README.md` with installation and configuration instructions. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/internal/config/config.go b/internal/config/config.go deleted file mode 100644 index 1e878a1..0000000 --- a/internal/config/config.go +++ /dev/null @@ -1,105 +0,0 @@ -package config - -import ( - "encoding/json" - "log" - "os" - "path/filepath" - "sync" -) - -type Account struct { - IMAPServer string `json:"imap_server"` - IMAPPort int `json:"imap_port"` - Email string `json:"email"` - AppPassword string `json:"app_password"` -} - -type Config struct { - Accounts []Account `json:"accounts"` -} - -var ( - cfg *Config - once sync.Once -) - -// GetConfig return the config, -func GetConfig() (*Config, error) { - var err error - once.Do(func() { - cfg, err = loadConfig() - }) - return cfg, err -} - -func loadConfig() (*Config, error) { - configPath, err := getConfigPath() - if err != nil { - return nil, err - } - - // Creating config dir if it does not exist's - if err := os.MkdirAll(filepath.Dir(configPath), 0755); err != nil { - return nil, err - } - - // Creating default config file if does not exists - if _, err := os.Stat(configPath); os.IsNotExist(err) { - log.Printf("Creating default config file at :%s", configPath) - defaultConfig := &Config{Accounts: []Account{}} - if err := SaveConfig(defaultConfig); err != nil { - return nil, err - } - return defaultConfig, nil - } - log.Printf("Loading config from :%s", configPath) - - data, err := os.ReadFile(configPath) - if err != nil { - return nil, err - } - - var cfg Config - err = json.Unmarshal(data, &cfg) - if err != nil { - return nil, err - } - - log.Printf("Loaded config and number of accounts are: %d", len(cfg.Accounts)) - return &cfg, nil -} - -func SaveConfig(updatedCfg *Config) error { - if updatedCfg == nil { - return nil - } - - homeDir, err := os.UserHomeDir() - if err != nil { - return err - } - - configDir := filepath.Join(homeDir, ".config", "gmail-notifier") - configPath := filepath.Join(configDir, "config.json") - - // Creating dir if it does not exist's - if err := os.MkdirAll(configDir, 0755); err != nil { - return err - } - - data, err := json.MarshalIndent(updatedCfg, "", " ") - if err != nil { - return err - } - cfg = updatedCfg - return os.WriteFile(configPath, data, 0644) -} - -func getConfigPath() (string, error) { - homeDir, err := os.UserHomeDir() - if err != nil { - return "", err - } - return filepath.Join(homeDir, ".config", "gmail-notifier", "config.json"), nil -} diff --git a/internal/imap/client.go b/internal/imap/client.go deleted file mode 100644 index 8471112..0000000 --- a/internal/imap/client.go +++ /dev/null @@ -1,80 +0,0 @@ -package imap - -import ( - "fmt" - "log" - - "github.com/emersion/go-imap" - "github.com/emersion/go-imap/client" - "github.com/shrutsureja/gmail-notifier/internal/config" -) - -func ConnectAndFetch(account config.Account) { - log.Println("Connecting to server...") - - // Connect to server - c, err := client.DialTLS(fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", account.IMAPServer, account.IMAPPort), nil) - if err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - log.Println("Connected") - - // Don't forget to logout - defer c.Logout() - - // Login - if err := c.Login(account.Email, account.AppPassword); err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - log.Println("Logged in") - - // List mailboxes - mailboxes := make(chan *imap.MailboxInfo, 10) - done := make(chan error, 1) - go func() { - done <- c.List("", "*", mailboxes) - }() - - log.Println("Mailboxes:") - for m := range mailboxes { - log.Println("* " + m.Name) - } - - if err := <-done; err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - - // Select INBOX - mbox, err := c.Select("INBOX", false) - if err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - log.Println("Flags for INBOX:", mbox.Flags) - - // Get the last 4 messages - from := uint32(1) - to := mbox.Messages - if mbox.Messages > 3 { - // We're using unsigned integers here, only subtract if the result is > 0 - from = mbox.Messages - 3 - } - seqset := new(imap.SeqSet) - seqset.AddRange(from, to) - - messages := make(chan *imap.Message, 10) - done = make(chan error, 1) - go func() { - done <- c.Fetch(seqset, []imap.FetchItem{imap.FetchEnvelope}, messages) - }() - - log.Println("Last 4 messages:") - for msg := range messages { - log.Println("* " + msg.Envelope.Subject) - } - - if err := <-done; err != nil { - log.Fatal(err) - } - - log.Println("Done!") -} diff --git a/internal/models/email.go b/internal/models/email.go deleted file mode 100644 index 2ad1b20..0000000 --- a/internal/models/email.go +++ /dev/null @@ -1,7 +0,0 @@ -package models - -type Email struct { - Account string - From string - Subject string -} From b01f2156ee333ce62edba681b53ef64345de7616 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 18:18:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 12/12] Add real desktop popup notifications and systemd autostart The ai branch's systray app tracked unread counts but never actually popped up a notification for new mail. Track each account's last-seen IMAP UID in state.json so genuinely new messages (not existing unread mail on first run) trigger a notify-send popup with sender + subject. Also add a systemd --user unit for autostart on login, since the existing .desktop's X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled key had no effect sitting under /usr/share/applications (autostart requires the file to live under /etc/xdg/autostart or ~/.config/autostart). --- README.md | 67 +++++++++++++++++---- build.sh | 19 ++++-- gmail-notifier.service | 13 +++++ imap.go | 130 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- state.go | 38 ++++++++++++ ui.go | 17 +++++- 6 files changed, 253 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gmail-notifier.service diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index ed7633a..fff1261 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ Gmail notification system tray app for Ubuntu across multiple Gmail accounts ## Features - 📧 Real-time email notifications using IMAP IDLE +- 🔔 Desktop popup notification (sender + subject) for every new email - 👥 Support for multiple Gmail accounts - 🔒 Secure authentication using Gmail App Passwords - 🔐 **Encrypted password storage** with build-time encryption keys @@ -26,7 +27,7 @@ Gmail notification system tray app for Ubuntu across multiple Gmail accounts 1.
