NAME

       WMBiff - A dockable Mailbox Monitor

SYNOPSIS

       wmbiff [-display <display name>] [-geometry +XPOS+YPOS] [-c <filename>] [-h] [-v] [-debug]

DESCRIPTION

       WMbiff  displays  the status of up to five mailboxes. It gives information about new mail, if any, or total number of messages. It also has
       mail retrieval capabilies, and can be configured to do this automatically. At the moment, UNIX-style, maildir, POP3, APOP and  IMAP4  mail-
       boxes  are supported.  WMbiff also supports Licq history files and gnomeicu, displaying the number of new messages in your running session,
       as if they were mail.

       The mailboxes are displayed in 5 different lines, each one with its own description of up to five chars. If no mail is present in  a  given
       mailbox,  WMbiff  will  display	the total number of mails in cyan. If there's new mail in the box, the number of new messages will be dis-
       played in yellow. When new mail arrives, this number will optionally flash for a small period of time, and also optionally, a  command  can
       be executed on mail arrival (for example, opening your mail reader or playing a sound file).

       Pressing  mouse button 1 will execute a command, defined in the user's config file. Mouse button 3 will execute a command to fetch mail, if
       defined.

NAME

       awayrc - configuration file for Away

DESCRIPTION

       An  away configuration file consists of a series of commands.  Each line of the file may contain only one command.  Command names are case-
       insensitive.  Commands and arguments are separated by spaces.

       The hash mark, or pound sign ("#"), is used as a comment character.  You can use it to annotate your configuration file.   All  text  after
       the comment character to the end of the line is ignored.

       Take  note that if any mailboxes are configured in the rc file, they will be the only mailboxes checked, which means that you must add your
       inbox--the $MAIL environment variable will be ignored.

COMMANDS

       mail VALUE
	      This command allows the user to disable or enable the checking of the user's mailboxes.  If mail checking is disabled,  all  mailbox
	      and maildir commands are ignored.  VALUE can be 0, 1, no, or yes.  The default value is 'yes'.

       mailbox FILENAME
	      A  file  that  should  be  checked  for "new mail."  The filename will be appended to the previous maildir declaration.  An optional
	      description of the mailbox may be supplied.  If the description contains a space, the entire description must be enclosed in braces,
	      "{" and "}".

       maildir DIRECTORY
	      A path where subsequent mailbox declarations will be located.  The only argument is the path itself.

       persist VALUE
	      This command will set whether to do persistent mail checking.  VALUE can be 0, 1, no, or yes.  The default value is 'yes'.

       time SECONDS
	      This command will set the number of seconds that away sleeps before performing its background tasks.  Presently, the only background
	      task that away will perform is the checking of mailboxes.  The SECONDS value must be more than the minimum,  which  set  at  compile
	      time.  The only argument is the number of seconds.  The default value is 300.

EXAMPLE

       # check mailboxes
       mail yes

       # check mail every 60 seconds
       time 60

       # do not do persistent checking
       persist no

       # inbox
       maildir /var/spool/mail
	   mailbox johndoe		  {your Inbox}

       # procmail folders
       maildir /home/johndoe/mail
	   mailbox linux-security	  {Linux Security}
	   mailbox mutt-announce	  {Mutt Announce}

FILES

       ~/.awayrc
	      Per user configuration file.
