GAI Mail Counter version 0.4
========================================

The GAI MailCounter applet is a gnome 2 applet. It checks your mail server
at regular intervals to determine if there is new mail in your mailbox.

Different smileys appear in the applet if you have 0, 1 or more mails. 
The number on the left of this applet and the associated tooltip show 
the exact number of mail.

It is possibile to specify, in the Preference dialog window:

- Font colors selection
- Local mail spool file: the location to check for new messages (Default: /var/spool/mail/<user>)
- Execute when clicked:  type a command in this text box. It will be run when 
  you click on the MailCounter applet (Default: sylpheed)
- Check for mail every secs: use this spin box to specify how often check the 
  mailbox (Default: 30 secs)
- Watched email address(es): you can insert some addresses, separated by commas
  and/or spaces, to watch. When you receive one or some mails from the watched 
  addresses a different icon will be appear and the number of these mails will 
  be shown in the tooltip.
