lain/maildir.md

Shows maildirs status in a textbox.

Maildirs are structured as follows:

~/Mail
.
|-- arch
|   |-- cur
|   |-- new
|   `-- tmp
|-- gmail
|   |-- cur
|   |-- new
|   `-- tmp
.
.
.

therefore the widget checks whether there are files in the new directories. If there's new mails, the textbox will say something like "mail: bugs(3), system(1)", otherwise it says "no mail".

mymaildir = lain.widgets.maildir("/path/to/my/maildir")
