mailcount

Have you ever wanted a simple tool to count the messages in your maildir folder? Here it is: mailcount! You can specify which messages you want to see in the output (new, flagged, seen, ...) and use a self-defined format for displaying the numbers! That way, you can always have an eye on your favorite means of communication. ;)

$ make mailcount
$ su -c "cp mailcount /usr/local/bin/"
