(This doc borrowed from KGet) KNewMail 2.0 ============== This is beta code. It may even not compile on your system. So far it was only tested on my computer, where it works fine. Ok, what is KNewMail you ask. Well, it is a small utility that will check your email at preset intervals. It will then notify you of new mail (hence the nifty name!) using one/none/all of the following methods: o Popup window displaying the number of messages waiting o Playing a wav file o Popup window (the main window) which shows you headers of the messages waiting o Auto Launch your favorite email program (or something like klogin so you can telnet!) I originally designed the program to support multiple pop3 servers because I got annoyed by having to telnet to them all, and waiting for the server to respond. KnewMail also has some other features, I've listed them here, but just remember they will be constantly added to and this list might not get updated! Check the docks for the latest list. o Customizable sound to play when mail arrives (or turn it off!) o Supports unlimited number of mailboxes (theoretically!) o Customizable time between mail checks o Customizable email program launch o Will only play sound when NEW messages arrive, not every time it detects waiting mail INSTALLATION ============= Please follow instructions from INSTALL file.
