This program is started by Eggert Ehmke, eggert.ehmke@berlin.de and currently developing by Ulrich Weigelt, ulrich.weigelt@gmx.de. It is distributed under the GNU public license. See COPYING for details. It is based on the command line tool showmail written by Manfred Haertel, Manfred.Haertel@rz-online.de. Kshowmail is a KDE tool to watch mails on a POP3 server. Headers and complete mails can be viewed without loading them to the local mail client. Unpleasant mail can be deleted from the server. The list of displayed mails can be refreshed via configurable timers. Filters can be assigned to mark known spam for deletion. Multiple accounts are supported. A sound can be played if new mail arrives. A command menu allows user configurable commands like fetchmail or sendmail. A special command can be defined to send complain mail against spam. The modifications I provided are mainly Qt/KDE stuff to generate a nice GUI interface. I am using the great development tool kDevelop V2.1. If you find the tool useful, tell me about it. If you find any bugs or want some additional features, just give me a hint. As time allows, I will try to fix them. If you like to translate the language files, I would be very happy.
