Mailcheck

[Pasi Orovuo]

Hi everyone.

Jasper mentioned some new ideas about Mailcheck in Bugzilla a while back
(http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857). By that time I had
written a multiple account patch for the current plugin, which I then
decided not to release. Jasper's idea about implementing mailcheck as an
system tray icon was quite interesting, and I felt it would make a nice
project for myself to get familiar with Xfce and Gtk programming. So I
decided to give it a try, and here's what I've so far:

And with no unread mail:

In the lower right corner the left icon is the current mailcheck and the
right one in system tray is 'my' Mailcheck (entitled as Mailwatch as I
didn't want anyone to mix it with the official Xfce Mailcheck - name
suggestions are welcome). Currently it's not much more than a stripped
down (missing pop support) rip-off of Mailcheck plugin with support for
multiple accounts, accompanied with an mcs-plugin for settings.

At the moment I don't dare to release the source code, as I need to read
a bit more about Gtk/GLib and fix some (possible) errors, but I'm hoping to
get someting released during the weekend.

If any of you have ideas or suggestions, I'd like to hear them.

Regards,
Pasi
