WMFetchmailMon

WMFetchmailMon is a useful tool for users who have a single dial-up connection and find it difficult to determine when the mail fetching process is complete. With this software, users get an applet that graphically monitors the /var/log/mail.log, allowing them to determine whether or not the dial-up connection can be closed. The main question the software helps answer is whether or not fetchmail is currently retrieving some messages, enabling users to safely break the link (PPP?).

To compile WMFetchmailMon, simply run the classic "./configure ; make ; make install". However, the 'configure' step requires the --with-wmapp option, which is mandatory because the software requires WMApp. WMApp is in the early stages of development, so users need to download, extract, and compile it before being able to build WMFetchmailMon. Once WMApp has been compiled, users can then compile fetchmailmon and indicate the path to WMApp's source tree with the '--with-wmapp' option. It's important to use an absolute path name and to check the INSTALL file for any generic information about 'configure' usage.

Overall, WMFetchmailMon is an essential tool for fetchmail users who want to monitor their mail fetching process effectively. With its graphical monitoring feature and ability to determine when to close a dial-up connection, the software is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to optimize their email management.
