Description:
============

The application is an AfterStep look & feel multiple e-mail
mailboxes monitor for computers running X Windows.

This application reads the configuration file and launches
as many threads as there are mailboxes defined. There is
no limit on the number of mailboxes to watch. Each mailbox
is verified according to the timeout specified in the
configuration file. The progress and the status of mailboxes
are presented on the screen.

The application may present a summary of all mailboxes or
each mailbox separately (as many as will fit into the picture).
You can specify the XPM picture to use as the backdrop
animation for the status update.

History:
========

asmail was in development by many people over the years.
The latest version where I took over was maintained and
extended by Martin Domig. I wanted some updates to the
code and Martin "disappeared" around the summer of 2002.
So, I decided to go ahead and extend it anyway. When I
inquired for the desired features on the AfterStep mail
list, I received a great number of requests though. I
have looked at implementing them within the old
structure of asmail and it seemed difficult at the least.
So I have rewritten the whole application from scratch.
