I've tried gbuffy but something breaks during the emerge. I've been |
| 4 |
tinkering with it but gave up a bit earlier (likely out of sheer |
| 5 |
laziness ;)). I don't really use gkrellm so I'd rather not start |
| 6 |
mucking with it. |

I actually do use xfce4, so I may give the mailwatch plugin a try. |

Certainly lame that it opens a new connection every time it polls, but |

maybe that's something I can tweak in the code if I settle. |

What do you use to poll, Grant? Gbuffy? |
