Hi, I have an IMAP mailbox, but I use "fetchmail -c" in order to know if I have new mail or not (below is the description for this option). I would like this command to be run periodically (OK, that can be done through a background process) and tell screen when I have new mail in order to be warned (message in the status line would be great). But I couldn't see in 'man screen' anything like that tough a reference to > o A weird imagination is most useful to gain full advantage of all the > features. which let me think someone may be able to help me...
