NAME
       WMBiff - A dockable Mailbox Monitor

SYNOPSIS
       wmbiff [-display <display name>] [-geometry +XPOS+YPOS] [-c <filename>]
       [-h] [-v] [-debug]

DESCRIPTION
       WMbiff displays the status of up to five mailboxes. It  gives  informa‐
       tion  about  new mail, if any, or total number of messages. It also has
       mail retrieval capabilies, and can be configured to do  this  automati‐
       cally.  At  the moment, UNIX-style, maildir, POP3, APOP and IMAP4 mail‐
       boxes are supported.  WMbiff  also  supports  Licq  history  files  and
       gnomeicu,  displaying  the  number of new messages in your running ses‐
       sion, as if they were mail.

       The mailboxes are displayed in 5 different lines, each one with its own
       description of up to five chars. If no mail is present in a given mail‐
       box, WMbiff will display the total number of mails in cyan. If  there's
       new  mail  in  the box, the number of new messages will be displayed in
       yellow. When new mail arrives, this number will optionally flash for  a
       small period of time, and also optionally, a command can be executed on
       mail arrival (for example, opening your mail reader or playing a	 sound
       file).

       Pressing	 mouse	button 1 will execute a command, defined in the user's
       config file. Mouse button 3 will execute a command to  fetch  mail,  if
       defined.
