DESCRIPTION
mail-notification is a program that sits in your desktop environment’s
notification area (or say System Tray) and shows mail status icon. When
there’s no mail waiting, it doesn’t show any icon, and the envelope
icon appears when some of configured accounts have new mail. Also it
can automatically launch the program, specified in Preferences on new
mail arrival.
mail-notification features include:
* multiple mailbox support
* mbox, MH, Maildir, Sylpheed, POP3, IMAP, Gmail and
Evolution support
* SASL authentication support
* APOP authentication support
* SSL/TLS support (disabled, see README.Debian)
* automatic detection of mailbox format
* immediate notification (depending on your settings)
* HIG 2.0 compliance
