NAME
    cmail - a simple mail counter

SYNOPSIS
    cmail [-dnh] [-c config]

DESCRIPTION
    cmail reads in ~/.cmailrc for a list of mailboxes names and mailbox
    paths (full paths) and checks each box for new and old mail. It the
    prints out the description, and the number of total messages, followed
    by the number of new message if there are any. Command line options are:

    -d  enables debug mode, printing what cmail is trying to do

    -c  lets you specify a different config file

    -n  disables the use of color

    -h  prints a helpful help message

CONFIGURATION FILE
    The cmail configuration file contains a number of lines, each describing
    a single mailbox to check. Each line has three fields, a box URL, a
    description, and an optional color. Each field is seperated by one or
    more tabs. For example, the following is an entry for /var/mail/chip:

     file:///var/mail/chip  Inbox      green

    If Net::POP3 is installed, you can also have cmail check for mail in
    POP3 mailboxes, using config lines like:

     pop3://user:passwd@mailhost/   POP3 Box        yellow

    For a list of accepted colors, check the Term::ANSIColor manpage.

        a POP3 server
