Description:

idlebiff is an email notifier using IMAP IDLE extension. The look is similar to xbiff and imapbiff. Like imapbiff, it supports TLS, PNG icons among other features. It's written in Tcl using the Tk graphic library. It should run on any free Unix (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD) and X-Window graphic user interface (note: by now only tested under GNU/Linux with Xorg).
It's special because to my knowledge is the only biff-like application using IMAP IDLE extension so the notifications arrive as soon as the email is received (push-style, not polling).


Other Software Required:

Tcl/Tk - http://tcl.tk
tcllib - http://tcl.tk/software/tcllib/
tklib - http://tcl.tk/software/tklib/
tkpng - http://www.muonics.com/FreeStuff/TkPNG/
tls to tcl - http://tls.sourceforge.net/

All under Tcl/Tk license (BSD-style)
