What are the differences with wmbiff [1]?
What features does wmail provide that wmbiff does not?
Bye,
Package: wmbiff (0.4.26-1)
A dockable app that displays information about mailboxes
WMBiff is an WindowMaker docking utility, that displays the number of
read and unread messages in (usually) five mailboxes. You can also
define actions to execute on new mail arrival (for example, play a sound
file), [auto]fetchmail from a remote server, execute your mail reader
with a mouse click, or list subject lines from unread messages. WMBiff
also supports notification of incoming Licq messages, so you can put
Licq in the background.
At this moment, wmbiff supports unix-style, maildir, pop3, APOP, IMAP
and IMAPS mailboxes, as well as Licq and GnomeICU history files.
It also includes scripts to perform miscellaneous tasks. At the moment,
these include a checker for Debian security updates.
wmbiff is similar to the wmmaiload package, but features an LED-style
appearance, IMAPS support, and other minor differences.
