A script to display the From and Subject fields of your inbox.

Designed to be a perl replacement for frm that comes with elm, for when you don't want elm installed.

 

Local files version

Works with both mbox and Maildir.

It will also check other folders for a count of unread messages by setting $SUMMARY_FOLDERS.

E.g.
mbox: SUMMARY_FOLDERS=/home/user/mail/folder1,/home/user/mail/mailing_list_folder

Maildir: SUMMARY_FOLDERS=folder1,folder2

frm.pl (7.1K)

 

IMAP version

Requires the following environment variables to be set:

IMAP_USERNAME (containing your imap username)

IMAP_PASSWORD (containing a base64 hash of your imap password)  Obviously all a base64 hash isn't encryption, only obsfucation and the password can be easily recovered from this string, so use with caution.

Optionally (as above) you can obtain the count of unread messages in other folders by setting the following:

SUMMARY_FOLDERS=folder1,folder2
