NotifyMail is a system extension that listens for a finger connection. When
it receives the connection (for the appropriate user), it will notify you of new email. This can be done by having Eudora check your mail, display a dialog box, playing a sound, displaying a neat mailbox window or running any file. This file could be an AppleScript applet. If you aren't using Eudora and your email package is scriptable, you can still use NotifyMail to have it automatically check for mail.
System Requirements: System 7.0.0 or higher, MacTCP 1.1 or higher, Eudora 1.4
or higher (optional), POP account on a UNIX or VMS machine.
NotifyMail is distributed as shareware. Please see the documentation
for more instructions.
