-WHAT?
------
-KBiff is a biff utility. It is highly configurable but very easy to
-use and setup. It tries to combine the best (or at least *all*) of
-the features of most of the other "biff" programs out there.
-
-WHY?
-----
-... use it at all?
-
- KBiff has a number of advantages over the competition
- o Pure GUI configuration. No command line parameters or strange config
- files. All settings for KBiff can be done from one setup dialog
- o Session management. KBiff starts up with the same configuration you
- left it with.
- o Panel docking. KBiff can be docked into the panel very easily. Handy
- when you are monitoring several mailboxes and don't have the room
- anywhere else.
- o System sounds. KBiff can play most audio files when new mail arrives
- o Animated gifs. KBiff can handle GIF89 animated gifs
- o mbox, maildir, mh, POP3(S), IMAP4(S), and NNTP support.
- o Highly configurable. There are very few things in KBiff that you
- have to accept. Most things can be changed to fit your needs.
-
-Enjoy!
