Timer and Check New Messages Issue Resolved

Problem

Previously, there was an issue with the timer functionality in the application. When the user selected "Disable timer" from the frequency menu, the timer didn't stop as expected. Instead, it continued to run, disregarding the user's selection.

Additionally, there were inconsistencies in how the check_for_new_and_unread_messages method was managed and invoked, leading to unexpected behavior and potential message checks at unintended intervals.

Solution

To address these issues, we made several adjustments:

1. Corrected Timer Deactivation: We fixed the logic to properly deactivate the timer when the user selects "Disable timer" from the frequency menu. Now, when the timer is disabled, it stops running until the user selects a new frequency.

2. Conditional Activation: We implemented conditional logic to reactivate the timer only when the user selects a new frequency after it was previously disabled. This ensures that the timer respects the user's choice and starts periodic checks only when needed.

3. Delay Calculation: We ensured that the timer respects the selected frequency by calculating the appropriate delay before starting periodic checks. This ensures that the timer waits for the specified duration before initiating the next check.

4. Managed Message Checks: We improved the management of the check_for_new_and_unread_messages method to ensure it is invoked consistently with the timer settings. This ensures that message checks occur precisely at the user-defined intervals or cease when the timer is disabled.

Summary of Adjustments:

• Improved timer deactivation logic.
• Conditional reactivation of the timer based on user selections.
• Accurate delay calculations for periodic checks.
• Consistent management of message check intervals.

Date Issue Resolved

Problem

The original code's get_real_date() function couldn't handle the specific date format YYYY.MM.DD-HH.MM.SS.

Solution

Modified get_real_date() to parse the date with YYYY.MM.DD-HH.MM.SS format first, then fallback to default parsing if needed. This ensures compatibility with the new format while retaining functionality for existing formats.

Incorrect Data Extraction Issue Resolved

Problem:

The extract_data method in the GmailManager class was not effectively extracting the largest body data from the email parts. This affected the accurate rendering of message content.

Solution:

• Enhanced the functionality of the extract_data method to accurately extract the largest body data from the email parts, ensuring that the rendered message content reflects the entirety of the email.
• Implemented a more robust logic to compare body sizes and update the result with the corresponding data, ensuring that the largest content is prioritized.
• Ensured proper handling of nested email parts to extract the largest data recursively, improving the completeness of rendered messages.

These improvements ensure that the extract_data method now effectively extracts the largest body data from email parts, enhancing the overall functionality of the GmailManager class for rendering message content.

Enjoy!
