11.9 Biff

The functionality to check new messages is called biff. With the following configuration Mew sees how many new messages have arrived every 5 minutes.

 
(setq mew-use-biff t)

If one or more new messages exist, the total number is displayed in the mode line.

The server and the protocol, which Mew checks, are decided according to ‘mew-proto’ and the "case" (‘mew-case’) on boot time.

With the following configuration, Mew beeps when the number of new messages changes from zero to one or more.

 
(setq mew-use-biff-bell t)

To change the interval time of biff, set ‘mew-biff-interval’. Below is an example to set it to 10 minutes.

 
(setq mew-biff-interval 10)
