This is wmail - a little dockable application watching your email-file
|
||
|
|
and signaling changes. It works quite similar to xbiff
|
||
|
|
but provides a more informative, more interactive and yes, more colorful nice
|
||
|
|
little gui displaying some useful pieces of state-informations about that
|
||
|
|
file.
|
||
|
|
It uses the $MAIL environment-variable to locate the email-file you are using,
|
||
|
|
other mailing mechanisms like POP or IMAP are currently not supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It shows the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- a mail-icon in the upper-left if the file contains some mails
|
||
|
|
- a frequently blinking mail-text in the upper-right if there are unread mails
|
||
|
|
- a ticker displaying eighter the complete mail-adress, it's name-part or the
|
||
|
|
full sender name
|
||
|
|
- the number of emails stored in the file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, the button labeled `Client' allowes you to quickly run your
|
||
|
|
preferred email-client.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last, there are some attributes you can customize via the command-line.
|
||
|
|
So it's possible to set the interval-time between the updates, the
|
||
|
|
shell-command to run the client, what the ticker has to show and what colors
|
||
|
|
should be used. Custom coloring is what every dockapp should support, but
|
||
|
|
unfortunatly most didn't came with this nice and useful feature :(
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bugs: be sure there are! Since many time and motivation is needed to clean
|
||
|
|
even such a little app properly there are good chances this friendly toy
|
||
|
|
will change into an aggressive animal ready to cause irreversible damage -
|
||
|
|
thus, keep in mind this code comes with absolutly no warran...blablabla

|
||
|
|
|
||
