I sent this before, but I think sendmail puked after an installworld.
Had to make a new sendmail.cf
But . . .
Most righteous! Just what I was looking for! All I have to do is
configure it as a sticky window through my wm, and I don't have to
keep swapping desktop pages to check for new mail!
Just one thing. I get the config pretty clean, with all my folders
set, and I see a plaintext login on the imap server, but I never get
any notification of new messages. Documentation is sparse to say the
least. And I can't seem to find out what the 'command' directive is
supposed to be. Do I have to define that before it will actually
check for new mail?
Here is a sample folder def:
{
type = imap;
title = FreeBSD;
path = "imap://leblanc@acadia.ne.mediaone.net/INBOX.freebsd";
command = "";
server = acadia.ne.mediaone.net;
port = 143;
login = leblanc;
},
And the end of the config:
vertical = true;
polltime = 1;
maildir = "/home/leblanc/.Mail";
Though ~/.Mail doesn't actually exist - I'm not using any mbox or
local mailboxes of any kind.
Any pointers at all would be appreciated.
Thanks dude!
