Just one of the reasons I use fetchmail and procmail as background
processes. Removing the fetching duties from kmail makes it a lot
smoother and friendlier. By watching their activities of depositing
incoming mail in /var/mail/*, kmail knows within microseconds as
inotifywait sends kmail a message when /var/mail/* is closed. Editing
this message you are reading has so far used one mouse click. Computers
are supposed to save you work, not make it. Now I'll send this with a
ctrl+return, and the + key takes me to the next unread massage.
