Please make it a separate module. The current mailcheck may suck but I get
into serious trouble with some user(s) if I remove this CDE look-alike. It
provides the same functionality as the current panel. But by all means make
a fancy module with animations, sounds and multiple mailbox checks.

At the same time please have a look at the module interface. This panel is a
work in progress, so you may have ideas to improve the module API.

I don't have admin rights for our CVS so either Chuck or Olivier has to do
it. Olivier is away, Chuck is probably also unavailable now, so we will have
to wait.

Plugin modules you can send to me as a tarball (they're in separate
directories anyway). For changes to the core code you will have to use patch
I'm afraid. xfdiff is very useful in this case.

Also, for larger changes to code of which you're not the maintainer, you
should send something to the mailing list anyway even if you have CVS access
;-)
