mboxcheck [options] [file [...] ] DESCRIPTION
MBOXcheck is a simple mailbox checker. Give some options and at least one mailbox file as an argument and it will print some status of how many messages there are and which status they have. OPTIONS

[?] - show when count is above 0 for the below types, see --show what for more information about that. The default is to trigger only on new messages (--showon new). --show [n][s][r][o][a][d] What counts to show. The caracter in the bracket is the short form. The what string can be comma separated to specify more than one option. Multiple --show options will add more (and will not remove shows).
