DESCRIPTION

       mail-notification  is  a program that sits in your desktop environment's notification area
       (or say System Tray) and shows mail status icon. When  there's   no   mail   waiting,   it
       doesn't show any icon, and the envelope icon appears when some of configured accounts have
       new  mail.  Also  it can  automatically  launch the program, specified in  Preferences  on
       new mail arrival.

         mail-notification features include:
                 * multiple mailbox support
                 * mbox, MH, Maildir, Sylpheed, POP3, IMAP, Gmail and Evolution support
                 * SASL authentication support
                 * APOP authentication support
                 * SSL/TLS support (disabled, see README.Debian)
                 * automatic detection of mailbox format
                 * immediate notification (depending on your settings)
                 * HIG 2.0 compliance
