Asmail is a mail-checking software that has the Afterstep interface, similar to the xbiff software. It provides a visually appealing interface to check email messages.
Asmail has a sleek and modern interface that will fit right into any Afterstep setup. It's designed to work on X Windows and supports multiple e-mail mailboxes. When you launch the app, it reads the configuration file and creates threads for each mailbox defined. You can define as many mailboxes as you want, and there's no limit to the number of mailboxes you can watch.
One of the best things about Asmail is that it's incredibly versatile. You can choose to have it execute a program on incoming mail or mouse click. If you want to add a bit of personality to your mailbox monitoring, you can even specify the XPM picture to use as the backdrop animation for the status update.
Another great feature of Asmail is that it presents your mailbox's progress and status on the screen. You can choose to have it display a summary of all your mailboxes or each mailbox separately. It's up to you. As many mailboxes as will fit into the picture can be displayed.
This latest release of Asmail comes with a bug fix that solves an issue where error printing output causes errno to be set to a different value. Overall, Asmail is an excellent tool for anyone who needs a simple and efficient way to monitor their mailboxes. Give it a try and see how it can change your mailbox management game!
