The wmnotify software is a dock app for Window Maker that checks POP3 mailboxes at regular intervals.
One of the standout features of this software is that when new messages are detected, the mailbox image is animated to provide a visual indication of incoming mail. Additionally, users can choose to have a sound play, either from a WAV or AU audio file, or from the console bell.
For those who need to check multiple POP3 accounts, wmnotify does not offer this functionality by default. However, users can start a new instance of the application and specify an alternate configuration file on the command line to effectively check multiple accounts.
In terms of requirements, users will need WindowMaker to use Mailbox wmnotify. There are also some optional dependencies, including libsndfile, eSound, and OpenSSL.
Recent updates to the software include the use of the same Tx and Rx buffers for POP3 and IMAP4 and the removal of autogenerated files from the subversion repository. Additionally, support for IMAP4 commands that may span multiple packets has been added to the software, thanks in part to feedback from users Joffrey Pannequin and Randy.
Overall, Mailbox wmnotify is a useful tool for those who want a simple, customizable way to stay on top of incoming email messages.
