NAME
       chkmail - check for new mail

SYNTAX
       chkmail [-debug] [-verbose] mailbox

DESCRIPTION
       chkmail	determines  whether  new mail exists in the given
       mailbox.	 The number of new messages  is	 defined  as  the
       number of messages that have "Recent" status set.

       If  the	mailbox	 contains  no  new messages, chkmail will
       indicate that no new mail is present; otherwise,	 it  will
       report  the  number  of	new messages.  In either case, it
       will also indicate the canonical form of the name  of  the
       mailbox.

       The  -debug flag prints full debugging telemetry including
       protocol operations.  The  -verbose  flag  prints  verbose
       (non-error) telemetry.

       The  mailbox  name argument is a standard c-client mailbox
       name.  A variety of mailbox  name  formats  and	types  of
       mailboxes  are supported by c-client; examples of the most
       common forms of names are:
