--- name: "wmbiff" section: "1x" platform: "linux" package: "wmbiff" version: "0.2-2" release: "Debian 2.2 (Potato)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/wmbiff/1x" --- # wmbiff(1x) A dockable Mailbox Monitor ## NAME WMbiff - A dockable Mailbox Monitor ## SYNOPSIS **wmbiff** \[-display \\] \[-geometry +XPOS+YPOS\] \[-c \\] \[-h\] \[-v\]\ ## DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the **wmbiff** command. It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. WMbiff displays the status of up to five mailboxes. It gives information about new mail, if any, or total number of messages. It also has mail retrieval capabilies, and can be configured to do this automatically. At the moment, UNIX-style and POP3 mailboxes are supported. 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 mailbox, 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. ## OPTIONS - **-h** Show summary of options. - **-v** Show version of program. - **-display \** Use an alternate X Display. - **-geometry \** Initial window position. - **-c \** Use specified config file. ## BUGS Please send any bug reports or suggestions to Gennady Belyakov \\ ## SEE ALSO **/usr/share/doc/wmbiff/sample.wmbiffrc** ## AUTHOR This manual page was written by Jordi Mallach \, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
