      You don't need to do anything in particular to run this applet.
      Providing it is looking in the right place for your email, it
      will run itself quite happily. The following options, however,
      are available:

            Sometimes you may want to run something such as
            <application>fetchmail</application> before the applet 
            checks for new mail. To do this, check the checkbox and
            fill in the program name in the space here.

          <para>
            Sometimes you may want other programs to run when new mail
            arrives. It is common to tell the machine to play a noise 
            at you, for example. Checking this checkbox and filling in
            the command (such as <command>mpg123 sillynoise.mpg</command>
            or <command>esdplay sillynoise.wav</command>) will let this
            happen.

            By putting a program name (generally a mail-reader such as
            <application>balsa</application> or <application>spruce</application>
            here and clicking on the checkbox, you can set things up so that
            when you click <mousebutton>button 1</mousebutton> on the 
            applet, that program will be automatically run.

            You can adjust the range for checking whether mail has arrived
            between 1440 minutes (once a day) to never. Setting it to never
            is silly and will confuse it. The default value is every two
            minutes.
