TODO

Important

• Call Gnome Keyring methods directly from Gjs without Python
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14920159/unable-to-create-a-garray-in-gjs
  Another solution could to be use Vala to call Gnome Keyring methods, then to import the Vala library into Gjs
  The use of LibSecret seems to be a good workaround
• Display an error when a syntaxically valid but non-existing Gmail account ([email protected]) tries to connect

Nice to have

• Play a sound when new emails are found
• Use font style in the menu items
• Bigger context menu icons
• Better traduction file (.mo/.po)
