<P>
<P>KBiff is a mail notification utility for the KDE project. It has several
advantages over much of its competition:
<UL>
<LI><B>Pure GUI configuration</B>. No more command line parameters to remember (well,
one optional one to make things easier for some people) or strange config files.
All settings for KBiff can be done from one setup dialog.</LI>
<LI><B>Session Management</B>. KBiff starts up with the same configuration you left
it with.</LI>
<LI><B>Panel Docking</B>. KBiff can be docked into the panel very easily. Handy when
you are monitoring several mailboxes and don't have room anywhere else.</LI>
<LI><B>Animated GIFs</B>. You can use animated GIFs as your icons.</LI>
<LI><B>Sounds</B>. KBiff has an option to play .wav files when new mail arrives.</LI>
<LI><B>POP3, IMAP4, NNTP, Maildir, MBOX, MH</B>. KBiff supports all major mailbox formats!</LI>
<LI><B>Multiple Mailbox</B>. KBiff can monitor several mailboxes with one instance.</LI>
<LI><B>Others</B>. KBiff has scads of other options.</LI>
</UL>
<P>If you have any comments or requests for more features, feel free to email.
