Usage
The GeoMail plugin checks your pop e-mail and displays the status on your GeoBar. It handles dial- up and disconnect through a modem. You can configure more than one instance of GeoMail, each looking at a different e-mail account.
Be aware, that your passwords are stored as plain text!

The POP.... config entries set up your e-mail account location and security details. The ICON.... entries allow you replace the default icons used by the plugin. A right click on the plugin icon brings up the control menu. A shift right double click on the plugin icon recycles it and reloads all config data.
