--- Comment #3 from lki <lk1 at reglos.de> ---
Anybody still thinking about this? The current applet is almost useless in
setups which check the mailstate in very long intervalls only. Yes, there are
sometimes good reasons to do so.

Even better if there was a way to trigger a re-check from the shell, so one
could call some user provided script from left-click which calls the mail
program and then forces to re-check after it closes.

Currently I use  
pkill -f libmailwatch  
in such a script to kill and restart the applet and thus force a rescan, but
that's kind of ugly.

Maybe catching the less deadly SIGHUP or SIGINT for this purpose could be very
easy implemented without messing with the gui and translation issues. So
instant rechecks after network connect events could also be realized.
