osd_mail watches a set of mbox style mail boxes for new mail and displays on screen the names of those containing new mail. It requires xosd (currently version 2.1.2).
Released version 0.6. Updated POP3 code so that it accepts rather than rejects +OK from a server!
Released version 0.5. Updated code to use latest xosd (xosd-2.1.2). Also includes fixes for MS Exchange server (change for unreleased version 0.4). Thanks to everyone who sent me fixes or bug reports---sorry about the delay in releasing.
Released version 0.3. This release includes support to make it easier to build RPMs. Get it here.
Released version 0.2. Added POP and IMAP support as a separate program.
Released version 0.1.
Create a file ~/.mailcheckrc containing a list of mail boxes to watch, one per line and start osd_mail. Or, create a file ~/.osd_mailplusrc containing a list of mail boxes to check. Each line must be "mbox <mbox path>" or "pop <server> <username> <password>" or "imap <server> <username> <password>". Then start osd_mailplus.
Currently xosd-0.7.0 does not install xosd.h into the include path, so you should copy it there yourself.
