gfetch can determine if we have net access or not. 

CONFIG FILE: cp /usr/share/gfetch/gfetchrc $HOME/.gfetchrc

Incorporating into conky: unread mail count is stored inside /tmp/gfetch/mcount if you wana use conky to display unread mails, use something like "${if_running gfetch}MAIL${execpi 5 cat /tmp/gfetch/mcount}${endif} This way you are sure that you won't get string MAIL,if gfetch isn't running
