Summary: statmbx allows you to see what unread messages you have in your mailbox without opening an email client. It is written in C and runs as quickly as is possible without indexing. Compatible with mutt, pine, and any other mail program storing messages in the mbox format: http://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html License: GPL v2 or later. See the included file COPYING. Usage: $ cat ~/.statmbx [events] mail/events [main] .mail [folder_with_no_new_messages] mail/somembox #[folder_not_to_check_right_now] mail/someothermbox $ statmbx [events] Jane Doe Re: [FOOLIST] Movies this evening? Ignatz Miller [BARLIST] Gaming this Sunday! [main] Mike Smith long list, poorly organized $ statmbx --only-names [events] [main] To get rid of the square brackets, don't include them in ~/.statmbx. I just like the way they look. If you don't want headers to show bold, perhaps because your terminal doesn't do escape sequences, disable that by changing STATMBX_DO_BOLD from 1 to 0 in statmbx.c and recompiling. If this runs too slowly for you, you probably have too many messages in the folders you want to check. You could either switch to something that uses indexing and caching, or you could move old messages to some archive folder that you can then not check for new mail. I do the latter. Installation: $ gcc -o statmbx statmbx.c $ cp statmbx somewhere-on-your-path
