FvwmTaskBar just watches a file for new mails. You could use some
other program such as fetchmail to download the mails to a local
file. If this is inacceptable, you can make some external script
that checks for new mail and writes something to a fake mailbox,
e.g.:
#!/bin/sh
echo > /tmp/have_new_mail
while true; do
if new_mail_in_imap_box; then
echo "new mail" >> /tmp/have_new_mail
fi
sleep 300
done
And tell FvwmTaskBar to watch the /tmp/have_new_mail file instead
of a real mailbox:
*FvwmTaskBar: MailBox /tmp/have_new_mail
The difficult part is to write the "new_mail_in_imap_box" command
or function. Since I never used IMAP, I don't know what tools
there are to do it.
