.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
\fBwmnotify\fR is a dockable application (DockApp) for the WindowMaker window
|
|
|
|
|
manager to periodically check a POP3 or IMAP4 email account for new messages.
|
|
|
|
|
If there are new messages in the mailbox, a simple animation is displayed
|
|
|
|
|
and an optional sound (or beep) is produced.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBwmnotify\fR now supports SSL encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interface is kept very simple. To manually check for new messages,
|
2014-10-05 15:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
single-click on the mailbox image. To start your favorite email program,
|
2011-03-25 18:45:13 +00:00
|
|
|
double-click on the mailbox image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you double-click on the mailbox image to start your email program,
|
|
|
|
|
the new messages animation is stopped, assuming that you will read your new
|
|
|
|
|
messages. If you don't, the wmnotify program will simply continue it's
|
|
|
|
|
periodic checking of your email account and will restart the new messages
|
|
|
|
|
animation after the usual delay if new messages are unread.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the interval between checks is 5 minutes, and this can be changed
|
|
|
|
|
in the configuration file. You can also enable audio notification as well as
|
|
|
|
|
specify an optional audio sound file (WAV or AU). If audio notification is
|
|
|
|
|
enabled but no audio sound file is specified, a beep will be produced. There is
|
|
|
|
|
an option in the configuration file to adjust the volume of the sound file.

100%). This volume value is relative to the values you have set in your sound
|
|
|
|
|
card mixer settings. If you find the audio notification sound to be too loud,
|
|
|
|
|
just reduce the volume value. On the other hand, if you want to increase the
|
|
|
|
|
audio notification sound amplitude, just increase the volume. If you increase
|
|
|
|
|
the volume value to 100% and you find that it is not sufficient, then you would
|
|
|
|
|
have to increase the volume using your favorite sound card mixer program
|
|
|
|
|
(ex: with alsamixer, increase the PCM or master value).
