Mailcheck

[Pasi Orovuo]

I guess I've no objection either, though I must repeat that I'm still
learning Xfce and related utilities. If you think you have the patience
to work with someone who might not always know what he's doing;), I'm ready
to give it a go.

And for what it comes to using the old Mailcheck code... I'm quite ready
to drop it. It's design imo is not suitable for multiple protocols, and
that's why I dropped pop3 support off it. Eventually Mailwatch would have
become a complete rewrite anyway. It was just easier to whip up a
working version from the existing codebase.
