CheckMail is a simple NeXTSTEP application to check the spool file
for incoming mail. It puts up a window listing the "From" and
"Subject" lines of any messages it finds, and will play a sound
when a new message arrives. In the window it puts up, it also
indicates which messages are in NeXTmail or MIME formats. There
are a few preferences to modify the behavior of CheckMail.
CheckMail used to be called MailCall. The name was changed because
some application launchers seem to get confused and will use the
icon for Mail.app when displaying MailCall The original MailCall
application was written by Dennis Smyers. He released version 2.1
in 1992. I've made some bug fixes and added several new features
since then.
The file MailCall_2.9.2.tar.Z is only for those users who are still
running NeXTSTEP release 2.x. CheckMail version 3.0 (and later)
requires that you're running NeXTSTEP 3.0 (or later). Note that
a lot has changed between MailCall 2.9.2 and CheckMail 3.0. This
last version of MailCall doesn't recognize MIME formatted messages,
for example.
CheckMail has been compiled for all four NeXTSTEP architectures.
You can either pick up the file for a single architecture, or you
can get a MAB file that has all four. For now I'm not making the
source available, but I might change my mind on that in the future.

which have multiple monitors.
