9 Checkmail is nothing more than a smart textual menu allowing easy browsing
10 through a set of mailboxes, displayed together with numbers of all messages
11 and new messages. It is also able to notify the user that a new mail has
12 arrived by means of beeps, keyboard LEDs and on-screen display.
14 Checkmail can be freely used and distributed according to the terms of the GNU
15 General Public License version 2, as published by the Free Software Foundation.
17 Build requirements: libncurses, locales and iconv, and a decent C99 compiler
18 (preferably GCC). For full UTF-8 support, libncursesw is necessary. Options
19 for controlling XKB leds need libX11, on-screen display needs libX11 and OSDD.
20 See Makefile for several build-time switches.
27 arrow keys / vi-like movement moves through the list
28 ENTER invokes mutt (or a program specified
29 with the -m option) on the current mailbox
30 TAB jumps to the next mailbox with some new
31 messages (mailboxes with higher priority
33 ` TAB in reverse direction
34 Ctrl-R forces full reload of the list (otherwise,
35 it gets updated incrementally)
37 0...9 sets minimum priority of mailboxes to show
39 b, B enable/disable beeping
40 d, D enable/disable on-screen display
41 / start incremental search mode
42 <hotkey> activate a specific mailbox and invoke mutt
43 on it (hotkeys are defined as mailbox options
44 and they override the default key bindings)
48 cm -i display just the inbox
49 cm -i '~/Mail/*_list' display inbox and all mailing lists
50 cm -i '~/Mail/*_list' -oINBOX=1t highlight the inbox and prefer it on TAB
54 - CheckMail currently does no mailbox locking, but the incremental update mechanism
55 is able to recover from mailboxes caught in the middle of mail delivery.
