NAME
       WMBiff - A dockable Mailbox Monitor

SYNOPSIS
       wmbiff [-display <display name>] [-geometry +XPOS+YPOS] [-c <filename>]
       [-h] [-v] [-debug] [-fg <foreground-color>] [-font <X11  font>|default]
       [-hi <highlight-color>]

DESCRIPTION
       WMbiff  displays  the status of up to five mailboxes. It gives informa-
       tion about new mail, if any, or total number of messages. It  also  has
       mail  retrieval  capabilies, and can be configured to do this automati-
       cally. 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  ses-
       sion, 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 mail-
       box,  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  displayed  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.
