NAME
chkmail - check for new mailSYNTAX
chkmail [-debug] [-verbose] mailboxDESCRIPTION
chkmail determines whether new mail exists in the given mailbox. The number of new messages is defined as the number of messages that have "Recent" status set.If the mailbox contains no new messages, chkmail will indicate that no new mail is present; otherwise, it will report the number of new messages. In either case, it will also indicate the canonical form of the name of the mailbox.
The -debug flag prints full debugging telemetry including protocol operations. The -verbose flag prints verbose (non-error) telemetry.
The mailbox name argument is a standard c-client mailbox name. A variety of mailbox name formats and types of mailboxes are supported by c-client; examples of the most common forms of names are:
- Name
