I had the same problem (I didn't want to send my password over the
network in clear text either ;o). Here's what I did to get gkrellm to
check IMAP stores using SSL:
Thankfully, gkrellm has the ability to call an arbitrary script to check
mail, and fetchmail can talk to an IMAP server over SSL. So, I filled
in the "Mail fetch/check program" field in gkrellm config with:
fetchmail -c -f ~/.gkrellm/.fetchmailrc
Then I created the "~/.gkrellm/.fetchmailrc file using the following
syntax (you need to fill in the entries inside <>):
poll <IMAP server> with proto IMAP
user <your imap username>
password "<your imap password>"
ssl
If you have multiple IMAP servers you'd like to check, you can just add
another stanza (similar to the one above) for each server. Gkrellm will
report a cumulative number of new/read mails, and it will also give you
a popup that breaks down how many new mails are on each server.
Cheers!
