awesome waybar/polybar/yabar/i3blocks module to check the amount of unread emails in a ProtonMail inbox.

You may compile protoncheck yourself or download a copy from the Releases.

Run protoncheck, using the --username and --password flags to supply your ProtonMail username and password, respectively. It will output the amount of unread emails in your inbox.

⚠️ Protoncheck doesn't work with accounts with 2FA enabled.

Below is a sample Waybar configuration to check your ProtonMail inbox every 30 seconds.

~/.config/waybar/config:

"modules-right": {
  "custom/protoncheck"
}

"custom/protoncheck": {
		"exec": "~/bin/protoncheck --username [email protected] --password PASSWORD",
		"format": " {}",
		"interval": 30,
		"on-click": "xdg-open https://mail.protonmail.com/inbox"
}

• Special thank you to @crabvk for making bar-protonmail, without which I wouldn't have had the inspiration to make protoncheck.
