Evolution Biff is a SuperKaramba widget which monitors Ximian Evolution mail files for new mail.
To choose which mail folder to monitor, right-click on the theme and choose "Configure Theme", then "Change mail folder". The default folder is Inbox (~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox).
NEW in this version:
This karamba theme requires SuperKaramba 0.35. It has been tested with Python 2.3.3, KDE 3.2, and Evolution 1.4.6.
The icons were taken from Kool Gorilla 1.2 for KDE.

Q: Why does the display say that there are new messages even after all the
messages have been read?
A: Evolution doesn't update the mail file immediately after a message is read,
so it can take a while before the change is reflected in the widget. Be patient :).
If you want it to update immediately, you can expunge deleted messages, which
seems to do the trick.
Q: How do I set Evolution Biff to update every "x minutes"?
A: The default update interval is 10 seconds. If you want to change the interval,
it's set in the evobiff.theme file (right-click on the widget->Edit->Edit Theme).
The interval parameter is in milliseconds, so interval=10000 means update every
10 seconds. You can change this to any amount of time you want: for 5 minutes,
change it to interval=300000.
