MAILNAG(1)

💌 NAME 💌

mailnag — an extensible mail notification daemon, bestie. that's the whole vibe. it sits there, it watches your inbox, it yells at you (affectionately) when mail shows up. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mailnag

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, no drama. she simply is. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so mailnag is a daemon program, which is just fancy speak for "little guy that runs in the background forever." and what does this little guy do?? she checks POP3 and IMAP servers for new mail. constantly. obsessively. iconically. 👑

and the second mail arrives?? she does various actions — but not on her own, no ma'am, those actions are provided by plugins. very delegate-and-thrive of her, we love a girl who outsources. 🫶

she ships with a set of desktop-independent default plugins for:

• visual notifications 🔔
• sound notifications 🔊
• script execution 📜
• etc. (iykyk)

and because she's not a gatekeeper, she can be extended with additional plugins easily. slay. ✨

⚠️ NOT ME FORGETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: you must first run mailnag-config to setup Mailnag. like, do not pass go, do not collect mail notifications, go configure her first. this is not optional, bestie, this is the whole prerequisite. 💀

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• mailnag-config(1) — the setup bestie. go say hi.

and that's the page!! Mailnag 2.0.0, dated Mar 2020 — yeah she's a little vintage but she still eats, no cap. go run mailnag-config first though, seriously, I'm begging. 💖🦋🌸
