awayrc - configuration file for Away DESCRIPTION
An away configuration file consists of a series of commands. Each line of the file may contain only one command. Command names are case- insensitive. Commands and arguments are separated by spaces. The hash mark, or pound sign ("#"), is used as a comment character. You can use it to annotate your configuration file. All text after the comment character to the end of the line is ignored. Take note that if any mailboxes are configured in the rc file, they will be the only mailboxes checked, which means that you must add your inbox--the $MAIL environment variable will be ignored. COMMANDS
mail VALUE This command allows the user to disable or enable the checking of the user's mailboxes. If mail checking is disabled, all mailbox and maildir commands are ignored. VALUE can be 0, 1, no, or yes. The default value is 'yes'. mailbox FILENAME A file that should be checked for "new mail." The filename will be appended to the previous maildir declaration. An optional description of the mailbox may be supplied. If the description contains a space, the entire description must be enclosed in braces, "{" and "}". maildir DIRECTORY A path where subsequent mailbox declarations will be located. The only argument is the path itself. persist VALUE This command will set whether to do persistent mail checking. VALUE can be 0, 1, no, or yes. The default value is 'yes'. time SECONDS This command will set the number of seconds that away sleeps before performing its background tasks. Presently, the only background task that away will perform is the checking of mailboxes. The SECONDS value must be more than the minimum, which set at compile time. The only argument is the number of seconds. The default value is 300. EXAMPLE
# check mailboxes mail yes # check mail every 60 seconds time 60 # do not do persistent checking persist no # inbox maildir /var/spool/mail mailbox johndoe {your Inbox} # procmail folders maildir /home/johndoe/mail mailbox linux-security {Linux Security} mailbox mutt-announce {Mutt Announce} FILES

lsmboxrc - configuration file for lsmbox DESCRIPTION
A lsmbox configuration file consists of a list of configuration options and their setting. The hash mark ("#") is used as a "comment" character. Every line beginning with a comment character is ignored. Whitespace is also ignored. COMMANDS
set variable=value Set a configuration variable to the specified value. unset variable Unset a configuration variable. This implies that the built-in default will be used instead. mailboxes filename... Specifies what mailboxes to check. You can have one or several of these lines. Each line can contain the name of one or more mail- boxes, each separated by a space. A filename of ! denotes your inbox. A leading ("=") or ("+") in a filename will be expanded into the path to your mail-directory. CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
folder The path to your mail-directory; this is usually $HOME/Mail/. lsmbox_mail_command Specifies what command to execute when the user selects a mailbox in continuous mode. mark_old Specifies whether or not old unread messages and new messages should be accounted separately. If you explicitly unset this variable using the unset command, the number of new and old messages will be added together as unread messages, otherwise they will be accounted as new and old respectively. mh_seq_unseen Specifies the string used in the .mh_sequences file to list new/old unread messages. If this variable is not set, or explicitly unset, "unseen" will be used. spoolfile The path to where the system keeps your inbox; usually /var/mail/USERNAME or /var/spool/mail/USERNAME. lsmbox_padding The width of the mailbox column. To never add additional padding beyond what's needed to align all values, specify '0' here. COMMENTS
You cannot specify a path or mailbox that contains whitespace characters (space, newline, etc.) Do not bug me about this. Having such filenames/pathnames is stupid anyway. I've deliberately tried to use the same syntax as mutt uses for its configuration-file muttrc whenever possible, to facilitate sourcing of $HOME/.lsmboxrc from your $HOME/.muttrc. lsmbox_mail_command will, however, cause mutt to emit an error.
