This factoid assumes you have weechat, weechat_plugins, a functioning imapd you can access and iset.pl installed in a functioning weechat.

Step 1 /script install imap_status.py

Step 2 configure it for your mailbox.

shows an example of how it should look in iset

typically you need to set the following :

/set plugins.var.python.imap_status.username "${sec.data.imap.user}"

/set plugins.var.python.imap_status.password "${sec.data.imap.pass}"

If configured using secure as in the above link,

you still need to add the settings to sec.conf typically :

/secure set imap.user (replace brackets/this with your imap username)

/secure set imap.pass (replace brackets/this with your imap password)

Step 3 Add imap_status item to a bar of your choosing.

/iset items

  on your preferred bar items and insert ,imap sumwhere within the list of items

for example as shown in above link

/set weechat.bar.status.items "time,[buffer_count],buffer_number+:+buffe
r_name+{buffer_nicklist_count}+buffer_filter,[lag],[hotlist],completion,
scroll,bufsize,imap"
