I didn't look real hard, but I never found a Perl module for IMAP, I did
find one for python that was uber-easy to use. I had a gnome panel in
python that would check for new mail on an imap server. I don't have it
anymore but the total code to do it took less than a page.
Java would be a cool language to do it in too, I've been working with it
a lot lately and really dig its simplicity for networking. Last time I
checked, I couldn't find any gtk+ bindings for Java, so it would have to
be written in Swing. That would probably get ugly though, I don't know
of any Java GUI tools for Linux.
