Hello.

Is there a simple (no heavy hackings/tweakings) and light command line's 
program that will check for new e-mails and tell me if any from POP3 
servers? I don't need to download (preview is OK) and send e-mails, so I 
don't need a full e-mail program like mutt and (al)pine. I will do that 
through GUI (Mozilla's SeaMonkey) and web browsers (webmails) manually 
when needed.

I do like how old BitchX and bash will tell me I got new e-mails from 
the local machine. It would be nice if they could do the same for POP3 
servers.

Thank you in advance. :)

fetchmail?  Look at the --check option.
