I tried to get the latest versions from dockapps.org, but I haven't
tested any of them.

More dockapps will be added as time permits.

written by : Sylvain Tremblay <stremblay@gmail.com>
release date : September 09, 2006
*******************
*** COMPILATION ***
*******************
To compile, simply invoke the "make" command.
********************
*** INSTALLATION ***
********************
To install the program (in /usr/local/bin), run : "make install"
To install the man pages (in /usr/local/man/man1), run : "make install-man"
*********************
*** CONFIGURATION ***
*********************
The wmckgmail program is independent for each user. To be able to use it, you
need to create a folder in the user home directory ($HOME/.wmckgmail).
In this folder, you need to create the configuration file ($HOME/.wmckgmail/config).
This configuration file works in "<key> <value>" pairs. There is two mandatory
entries that needs to be defined :
uname <gmail username>
pass <gmail user password>
There is also an optional parameter used to define the interval (in seconds)
between each new emails verification. If you don't define this value, a default
of 300 seconds (5 minutes) will be used.
pollinterval <number of seconds between each verification>
--- WARNING ---
It is strongly recommended to set the permissions on the configuration file to
something like "600" or "400" as your gmail account password is clearly written
into it.
