Using 2 [mail] blocklets gives undesired output about i3blocks HOT 7 CLOSED

I also have unsecure apps turned on within gmail. The problem is, the amount of unread emails either Home or Work will show, never both at the same time. However, if I click on the one which is not showing (to open gmail in the browser) it suddenly switches and shows the number of unread emails:

If I clicked on 'Home' in the above example, it would suddenly show the amount of unread mails.

What's interesting to me is that by default is shows my separator until I click it and then it shows the unread mails

Can you put the "- Home" inside " marks and try again?

Sorry for the lack of participation for now, I am using BSPWM right now but I still want to maintain this repo as it grow in popularity quite much. Will try to get to this this weekend!

I believe it has to do with the script only using one temporary file here: https://github.com/Anachron/i3blocks/blob/master/blocks/mail#L33

I will make use of mktemp (like I should have) and that should fix it. Thanks for your bug report, @WilkinsPhysics !

Sorry for delayed reply, can you change the intervals of one of them and try again? (something minor such as 59 is ok)
