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 moves through the list
28 h, j, k, l vi-like movement keys also work
29 ENTER invokes mutt (or a program specified with the -m option)
30 on the current mailbox
31 TAB jumps to the next mailbox with some new messages
32 (mailboxes with higher priority are preferred)
33 ` TAB in reverse direction
34 Ctrl-R forces full reload of the list
35 (otherwise, it gets updated incrementally)
37 0...9 sets minimum priority of mailboxes to show (0=show all)
38 b, B enable/disable beeping
39 d, D enable/disable on-screen display
40 / start incremental search mode
41 <hotkey> activate a specific mailbox and invoke mutt on it
42 (hotkeys are defined as mailbox options and they override
43 the default key bindings)
47 cm -i display just the inbox
48 cm -i '~/Mail/*_list' display inbox and all mailing lists
49 cm -i '~/Mail/*_list' -oINBOX=1t highlight the inbox and prefer it on TAB
53 - CheckMail currently does no mailbox locking, but the incremental update mechanism
54 is able to recover from mailboxes caught in the middle of mail delivery.
