ccpop is a POP3 mail notify daemon with support for multiple mailboxes. The daemon will periodically check a remote POP3 mailbox for changes and notify the user by playing an audio file if new mail has arrived. The script is small, full configurable, efficient and written in Python.
Installation Help
With installer (be logged in as root):
# tar xfvz ccpop-xx.tar.gz
# cd ccpop-xx
# ./install.py (or python install.py)
Without installer:
# tar xfvz ccpop-xx.tar.gz
# cd ccpop-xx
# cp bin/ccpop.py /usr/bin/
# cp conf/ccpop.conf /etc/
# vi /etc/ccpop.conf
...and your done! Well almost, edit the default configuration file it (or you) placed in /etc called 'ccpop.conf' (/etc/ccpop.conf). The configuration file is loaded with defaults and examples, it's pretty straight forward and shouldn't be too hard to figure out. You can run ccpop from the console by either typing "ccpop.py" or "python /usr/bin/ccpop.py", although it is a daemon and is best to run at boot time so depending on what distribution of Linux your using, modify your startup files (/etc/rc.d/ in Slackware) accordingly.
ccpop does NOT require any arguments to be passed to it at run-time, although if arguments are passed they supersede the variables pulled in from the configuration file.
