NAME
mboxcheck - MBOX mail checking program. SYNOPSIS
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
--help The help text. -h --version The version information about this tool. -V --showon [v][?] When to show a mailbox in the list. [v] - verbose, always show. [?] - 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). [n] - new (new messages) [s] - seen (seen but not read messages) [r] - read (read and answered messages) [o] - onlyread (just read messages) [a] - answered (answered messages) [d] - deleted (deleted messages) The default is to show new and seen messages (--show ns). --recurse This option will tell the tool to recurse into -R -r subdirectories. --nosymlink Tell the program to ignore symlinked files and directories. --cachedir dir A temporary directory to use for speedup cache (default ~/.mboxcheckcache) --nocache Do not use a temporary directory. CACHE
The cache file is named after the path to the file with slash caracters '/' replaced with two commas ',,'. The content is a list of comma separated values; last position, new, seen, only read, answered and deleted mail. AUTHOR

NAME
next - show the next message SYNOPSIS
next [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc program] [-header | -noheader] [-checkmime | -nocheckmime] [switches for showproc or showmimeproc] [-version] [-help] DESCRIPTION
Next performs a show on the next message in the specified (or current) folder. Like show, it passes any switches on to the program show- proc or showmimeproc, which is called to list the message. This command is almost exactly equivalent to "show next". Consult the manual entry for show(1) for all the details. FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory Current-Folder: To find the default current folder showproc: Program to show non-MIME messages showmimeproc: Program to show MIME messages SEE ALSO
show(1), prev(1) DEFAULTS
`+folder' defaults to the current folder `-checkmime' `-header' CONTEXT
If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder. The message that is shown (i.e., the next message in sequence) will become the current message. BUGS
next is really a link to the show program. As a result, if you make a link to next and that link is not called next, your link will act like show instead. To circumvent this, add a profile-entry for the link to your nmh profile and add the argument next to the entry. MH.6.8 11 June 2012 NEXT(1)
