MAVBIFF(1)	 FreeBSD System Manager's Manual       MAVBIFF(1)



NAME
       mavbiff - be notified if mail arrives

SYNOPSIS
       mavbiff

DESCRIPTION
       mavbiff consist of a window with a list of mailboxes in
       it. If mail arrives in one of them, the button of the
       mailbox will change colour. Pressing that button will
       popup the mailbox to the front.

CONFIGFILE
       The configuration file consists of groups of four lines:
	Label of the mailbox in mavbiff
	Physical location of the file on disk
	Name of the X window with the mail reader for this mailbox
	(empty line)

       The last empty line of the last entry should be removed.
       (Yeah I know it's lame)

       See the file dot-mavbiffrc for a sample configuration.

EXAMPLE
       I startup my mailboxes like this:
	    xterm -title "MUTT - mbox" -geometry 80x60 -e mutt -f=mbox

       So my xterm has the title "MUTT - mbox". In the third line
       of that mailbox in the config-file that name is returning.
