MAILBOX wmnotify is a "DockApp" application, running under WindowMaker, to periodically check a POP3 or IMAP4 email account for new messages. It also supports SSL encryption.

When new messages are detected, the mailbox image is animated to give a visual indication that new mail has arrived. Additionnally, if desired, a sound can be produced from a WAV or AU audio file, or from the console bell.

For simplicity reasons, wmnotify doesn't support multiple POP3 accounts. But by starting a new instance of wmnotify and specifying an alternate configuration file on the command line, you can effectively check multiple POP3 accounts.

Requirements:

Required dependencies:

WindowMaker

Optional dependencies:

libsndfile
eSound
OpenSSL

What's New in This Release:
Now using the same Tx and Rx buffers for POP3 and IMAP4.
Removed autogenerated files from subversion repository.
Added support for IMAP4 commands that may span multiple packets by calling recv() until full IMAP4 response is received. Based on comments/patches by Joffrey Pannequin and Randy.
