Script: inbox-imap-shellnetrc

A script that shows if there are unread mails in your IMAP inbox.

This script actually use IMAPs. curl can also handle unencrypted IMAP. You only need to change the protocol in the command.

The login data is stored in a .netrc. This is more secure because the password is not visible in the process list.

Dependencies

• curl

Configuration
