Overview
mail-notification is a program that sits in your desktop environment's notification area (or say System Tray) and shows mail status icon. When there's no mail waiting, it doesn't show any icon, and the envelope icon appears when some of configured accounts have new mail. Also it can automatically launch the program, specified in Preferences on new mail arrival.
