DockApp e-mail notification program for POP3 and IMAP4 servers

wmnotify is a DockApp application, running under WindowMaker, to periodically check
a POP3 or IMAP4 email account for new messages. It also supports SSL encryption.

When new messages are detected, the mailbox image is animated to give a visual
indication that new mail has arrived. Additionnally, if desired, a sound can be 
produced from a WAV or AU audio file, or from the console bell.For simplicity reasons,
wmnotify doesn't support multiple POP3 accounts.

But by starting a new instance of wmnotify and specifying an alternate configuration
file on the command line, you can effectively check multiple POP3 accounts.

NOTE: There's a PATCH inside the package to replace the non-stop animation
      to a static image for incomming e-mails. Just edit the building script 
      and set the "PATCH" variable to "yes" or pass a parameter to the build script
      PATCH=yes ./wmnotify.SlackBuild
