OVERVIEW
--------
The Checkmail module checks a POP3 or IMAP e-mail account and prints one or
more of the following: the total number of e-mail in your INBOX, the number
of recent (new) e-mail (IMAP only), the number of unread e-mail (IMAP only),
the total size of the e-mail in your mailbox.

NOTE: If you turn off the cache setting for the block, it will query the
e-mail server on every page load where the block is displayed. It is a good
idea to configure the block to display on only certain pages and/or confirm
with the mail server administrator the amount of use you expect. The default
cache expiration before re-checking the server is 1 minute.

This module does not encrypt your POP3 login information, so if your server
is compromised, the attacker could have access to your plaintext login
information.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
- Drupal version 4.7 or newer
- Permission to use the fsockopen() and other socket functions in PHP.


CONFIGURATION
-------------
There are several configuration options to set:

- POP3 email server
Enter your e-mail server address: mail.example.com

- POP3 email port
Enter the connection port, used to get access to the mail server. If you
don't know what this is, leave the default configuration for port 110.

- POP3 email username
- POP3 email password
