I think it should at least be able to use the existing gnus and/or
rmail settings (they cannot be that hard to use).
You can then add extra mailboxes to check specifically.
What about these options:
- display-time-pop3-check-rmail (nil/t, default t)
- display-time-pop3-check-gnus (nil/t, default t)
- display-time-pop3-mail-boxes (alist (server.passwd), default ())
With the pop3 sample code I posted some time ago, there is one serious
problem: If emacs cannot connect to the pop3 server, it may hang (no
user interaction) until the connect times out. That is not
satisfactory!
I don't know if this is relevant for your code (sorry, but I haven't
had time to look at the code you sent me).
