Introducing
|
|
|
|
WMBiff is an WindowMaker docking utility, that displays number of
|
|
total messages count or unread mail messages count in differrent
|
|
mailboxes.
|
|
|
|
WMBiff was created by Gennady Belyakov in 1999, and was continued by
|
|
a team of volunteers after his death.
|
|
|
|
Green ( cyan? :) ) digits display total number of messages, if there
|
|
are no unread messages in it.
|
|
|
|
Yellow digits display number of unread messages, with blinking on new
|
|
mail arrival, if any.
|
|
|
|
At this moment unix-style (mbox), maildir, POP3, APOP and IMAP mailboxes
|
|
are supported. WMBiff also understands Licq's history files.
|
|
WMBiff supports up to 5 mailboxes (but you can start 2 or more
|
|
wmbiff's with differrent configs).
|
|
|
|
Pressing on a 1st (left) mouse button will execute appropriate mail
|
|
reader (if defined in config file). Right-clicking will exec mail
|
|
fetching program (if any).
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to execute user-defined command line on new mail
|
|
arrival (for example, play .WAV file).
|
|

Compiling and Installation
|
|
|
|
Extract the archive:
|
|
tar -xvzf wmbiff-0.x.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Enter the wmbiff directory and follow INSTALL's directions.
|
|
cd wmbiff-0.x/
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
For crypto support either:
|
|
*) Install gnutls and libgrcypt packages from your distribution.
|
|
*) Download them from http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/download/mirrors.html
|
|
Choose a mirror, then download from the alpha/gnutls and
|
|
alpha/libgcrypt directories.
|
|
*) Do nothing; the configure script will note its absence.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: gnutls-0.3.5 is the version that this release was
|
|
tested with. Newer versions may have incompatible changes.
|
|
|
|
Make the binary:
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Install the binary:
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
This will copy the binary to /usr/local/bin
|
|
|
|
Then you need to copy sample.wmbiffrc into your home directory as
|
|
.wmbiffrc, correct it as you like. Or, you can use the ``-c'' option
|
|
and specify differrent name of config file.
|
|
Without any config file wmbiff will use only default mailbox
|
|
(from environment variable MAIL), labeled with word SPOOL, at first
|
|
position. All other positions will be empty.

UPDATE [2001-06-18]:
|
|
|
|
On Tuesday, 22 May 2001, Jordi Mallach sent the following email to the
|
|
wmbiff-devel list:
|
|
|
|
Hello,
|
|
I just found evidence of what I had believed for a long time.
|
|
|
|
http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/ports/0101/msg00311.html
|
|
|
|
Gennady Belyakov passed away right after releasing 0.2 and when he
|
|
stopped answering mail :|
|
|
|
|
I guess we need to update the docs.

Well, wmbiff's author Gennady Belyakov passed away in late November 1999.
|
|
That's why that url isn't any longer valid.
