<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'>Description</a></h2>
The <i>checkmail</i> program checks the status of the user's mail drop.
If new mail is waiting, <i>checkmail</i> runs <i>playbucket</i> to play a sound and returns
an exit status of 0. If mail has been cleared, an exit status of 2 is returned.
If there has been no change, an exit status of 1 is returned.
<p> The <i>checkmail</i>
program is intended to be used with the <b>checkCommand</b> resource of <i>xbiff</i>.
To set this resource, add the following line to your <i>.Xdefaults</i> file:
<p>
<blockquote>xbiff*checkCommand: checkmail </blockquote>
