Summary:
C: Mail notification pop-up with configurable message scans
Description:
C: >-
<p>
Xlbiff presents enough information to tell you: Is this new mail worth
reading right now? And it stops distracting you once you decide.
</p>
<p>
Xlbiff waits in the background, monitoring your mailbox file or IMAP
server (or running any state-monitoring script you configure).
When a new message arrives, it invokes the MH scan(1) command (or
any status-generating script) and pops up a window with the output.
If more mail arrives (or the monitored state changes), xlbiff scans
again and resizes its preview window accordingly.
</p>
<p>
You can customize scan(1) to show any header and/or content; by
default xlbiff displays the From, Subject and beginning of the
message content. Xlbiff can also beep or play a custom sound.
</p>
<p>
Clicking the left mouse button anywhere in the window causes it to
vanish. It will also vanish if the mailbox becomes empty. Xlbiff
stays out of your way when there is no new mail and pops up only
when something requests your attention.

<p>
mailbox-preview is a command-line program
that peeks at an IMAP mailbox and uses scan to display a summary,
one line per new message. Local mailboxes are also supported:
Maildir directories, MH folders, mbox files and MMDF files.
Use mailbox-preview stand-alone on the command line or as the
back-end of xlbiff.
