NAME
       wmmaiload - A dockapp to	monitor	mailboxes

SYNOPSIS
       wmmaiload [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	documents briefly the wmmaiload	command.

       WMMaiLoad  is  a	 program to monitor mailboxes. It is a dockapp that is
       supported by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep,	Black-
       Box, and	Enlightenment.

       The  new	 mails	number	is displayed in	the top	half.  The total mails
       number is in the	bottom half. It	has an LCD look-alike user  interface.
       The  back-light	may  be	 turned	 on/off	by clicking the	mouse button 1
       (left) over the application. If there is	new mail, an  alarm-mode  will
       alert  you  by  turning on and off back-light. This can be stopped (and
       restarted) by clicking the mouse	button 3 (right) over the application.
       An application can be launched with the mouse button 2 (middle) such as
       a mail user agent.  When	clicking on the	dockapp	with button 2 and  the
       control	key  pressed, it launches wmmaiload-config, the	WMMaiLoad con-
       figuration tool (if it can be  found  in	 the  PATH).   One  can	 cycle
       through	individual  mail  boxes	by clicking on the "-" or "+" signs in
       the window (can display up to 99	mailbox	numbers	even if	 more  can  be
       put  in the list). The "--" mailbox number is for displaying the	global
       values. No cycle	can be done if there's only one	mailbox	:) Using  but-
       ton 3 cycles mailboxes by 10.

       Command-line  options  override	the default configuration file options
       (see FILE section below).

       There are 3 alarm modes.	First when there is new	 mail  either  if  the
       global  mailbox	is displayed or	a mailbox that has no new mail is cur-
       rently displayed, then the background blinks. Second, when there	is new
       mail only in the	mailbox	that is	 currently  displayed,	then  the  new
       mails  count blinks. Last, when there is	new mail in the	currently dis-
       played mailbox and in another mailboxe, then the	background and the new
       mails count blink.

       WMMaiLoad can monitor mbox-format files,	MAILDIRS,  MH,	POP3,  HOTMAIL
       and IMAP	mailboxes...

OPTIONS
       This  program  follows  the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of
       options is included below.

       -h     show help	text and exit.

       -v     show program version and exit.

       -w     run the application in windowed mode.

       -k     activate broken window manager fix.

       -b     turn on back-light.

       -s     disable blinking when there is new mail.

       -r     run command (see -n) only	once : not each	time new mail arrives,
	      but only when new	mails count change from	0 to not 0 :)

       -z     use files' size to check for new mails instead of	time.

       -t     don't use	threads	for mail boxes checking.

       -d <string>
	      Attempt to open a	window on the named X display. If this	option
	      is not present, the display specified by the DISPLAY environment
	      variable is used.

       -c <color>
	      back-light color (rgb:6E/C6/3B is	default).

       -x <string>
	      command to launch	with button 3.

       -n <string>
	      command to launch	each time there	is new mail.

       -f     load configuration file.

       -i <number>
	      number of	secs between updates (1	is default).

       -o <number>
	      display  specified  box  infos  directly	(0  is the default for
	      global counts).  This option should be put AFTER any addition to
	      the mail box list	in order to verify mailbox number validity.

       -l <number>
	      delay in seconds between pop3/hotmail and	imap checks.

       -m <string>
	      use that mail box	(may be	used more than	once  --  see  section
	      FILE below).

FILE
       wmmaiload  uses one default file	: ~/.wmmailoadrc. Empty	lines or lines
       begining	with a # are ignored. Entries are  summarized  below  (default
       value  in  parenthesis).	 Booleans  can	be either 1/0 or true/false or
       yes/no or on/off, case insensitive. A  sample  file  is	given  in  the
       source  package.	  The configuration entries are	overwritten by command
       line arguments. But if configuration is changed via the graphical  con-
       figuration  tool	 in  runtime, configuration options are	then read from
       the file	if it has been saved.

       Backlight =
	      Boolean (off).

       Color =
	      String (#6EC63B).

       Interval	=
	      Integer (1).

       Mailbox =
	      String (noting). You can have several Mailbox entries. A mailbox
	      is defined with a	maximum	of 5 space-separated  fields  :	 type,
	      file-or-url,  username,  password	 and  folder.  Types are MBOX,
	      POP3, MAILDIR, MH, HOTMAIL  and  IMAP.   For  an	MBOX,  MH  and
	      MAILDIR  mail  boxes,  the file-or-url field is the filename (or
	      directory	name) of the mbox file and other fields	are not	 used.
	      For  POP3,  HOTMAIL and IMAP boxes, the file-or-url field	is the
	      server url, other	fields are used	as normal. Note	 that  in  the
	      latter case, you can use the standard server:port	specification.
	      The folder field is used for IMAP	only.

       Command =
	      String (nothing).

       Notify =
	      String (nothing).

       Blink =
	      Boolean (yes).

       DefaultBox =
	      Integer (0).

       CheckDelay =
	      Integer (30, min = 15).

       RunOnce =
	      Boolean (False).

       CheckSize =
	      Boolean (False). For mbox	files :	if False, check	mbox mtime.

       UseThreads =
	      Boolean (True). Use threads for mail boxes checking or not.

MAILBOXES
       Mail  boxes are more willingly configured from within the configuration
       file for	ease of	use rather than	from command line. A configuration op-
       tion for	a mail box is following	the next scheme	:

       Mailbox = TYPE FILE-OR-URL [USERNAME] [PASSWORD]	[FOLDER]

       TYPE   must be one of MBOX, POP3, MAILDIR, MH, HOTMAIL and IMAP.

       FILE-OR-URL
	      is where to get the mailbox data :
	      -	MBOX : the mailbox filename.
	      -	MAILDIR	: the mailbox directory	name
	      -	MH : the mailbox directory name
	      -	POP3 : the url of the POP3 server
	      -	HOTMAIL	: the url of hotmail
	      -	IMAP : the url of the IMAP server
	      server can be specified as server:port.

       USERNAME
	      is an optional parameter used for	POP3,  HOTMAIL	and  IMAP  box
	      types.

       PASSWORD
	      is  an  optional	parameter  used	for POP3, HOTMAIL and IMAP box
	      types.

       FOLDER is an optional parameter only used for IMAP box  types.  If  not
	      present, it defaults to INBOX.
