gbiff2 periodically checks for mail and displays headers when
new mail has arrived. It relies on the GNOME and GTK libraries but
can be compiled and used with or without GNOME support. Supported
protocols are
pop3,
apop,
imap4,
mh,
qmail and
mailfile.
Furthermore, gbiff2 is fully configurable with a lot of options
like
polltime, poptime, sounds, mail reader, mailbox title, etc.

You need
GTK 2.xx installed to compile for GTK only (no applet).
You need
GNOME 2.xx installed to compile with GNOME support.
gbiff2 is fully configurable via the GUI and options are saved within
the
.gbiff2rc file that is located in your home
directory. For the GTK-only version, you can use an alternate
configuration file with the '-c' option and you can skip the
configuration process with the '-noconfigure' option.

./configure --prefix=`gnome-config --prefix` --sysconfdir=`gnome-config --sysconfdir` --with-gnome
