Asmail is a "mail-checker" like xbiff, but with the Afterstep look & feel. It indicates the status of your mailbox. It can be put in the Wharf, execute program on incoming mail, execute program on mouseclick, show animations and more...

First of all, asMail is NOT an e-mail client as many seem to believe. asMail is a xbiff clone, i.e. it just tells you if you got e-mail or not. It does not download, send or delete any messages.

It is just a sweet little indicator that shows you if you have got mail or not.

Most important features of the current version (0.55):

• POP3 Support
• IMAP Support
• Maildir Support (standard Unix mailfile)
• Multiple mailboxes
• Afterstep wharf
