NAME
bbmail - mailbox flag for X
SYNOPSIS
bbmail [options]
DESCRIPTION
bbmail displays the status of a mailbox and warns when new mail has arrived. It has
internal support for mbox and maildir mailboxes. Other mailboxes like MH or pop3 can be
checked using an external program.
The tool is designed to mimic the look and feel of the Blackbox window manager when used
in combination with blackbox bbmail copies the style from Blackbox.
A little picture of an envelope shows if new mail is present. Multiple mailboxes can be
defined and different envelope colors are used to indicate new mail.
If the envelope is pressed with left mouse button a program for example a mail client can
be started. When the right button is pressed on the envelope a menu shows up. The menu
shows all mailboxes and the new mail/total mail of that mail box.
Another option in the menu is reconfigure, which causes bbmail to reconfigure (reread the
config files).
