I have a bin/rc/riostart which is invoked when I (surprise!) start
rio. It contains the following lines (with the names changed) (upas/fs
is already run, without arguments, from my profile):
echo -n 'open /imap/server1/anthony server1' > /mail/fs/ctl
echo -n 'open /imap/server2/anthony server2' > /mail/fs/ctl
mboxes=`{for (i in /mail/fs/*) {if (test -d $i) {echo -n '-m '$i}}}
window 0,0,$b,115 faces -i $mboxes
The -m argument tells faces to pay attention to mail coming in to the
mailbox named by its argument, found in the upas/fs dir (by default
/mail/fs). It gets repeated for each open mailbox.
I run 'Mail server1' and 'Mail server2' manually in Acme when I want
to read the mail. That and the plumbing from faces work well.
