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.
