This puzzle has 3 parts:

• A i3wm config that opens mutt in a dedicated workspace. $mod+m will switch to this workspace and will launch mutt, if not already running. Actually it doesn't launch mutt, but…
• a small wrapper script, which opens a named pipe and then starts mutt.
• a checkmail script which uses mailcheck(1) to tara check mail. If new mail is available, it blinks the CAPS LOCK led (which I mapped to CTRL anyway) and marks the mutt workspace via a bell.

Additional configuration:

• set your terminal to mark urgent bells. In Termite the setting is "urgent_on_bell = true".
• adopt you ~/.mailcheckrc to include paths to your mailboxes. In the simplest case it contains just the line "$(HOME)/Maildir/INBOX"

# Batch renaming files via your sharpest tool - your text editor.
# Given a file pattern as argument renamer.sh opens $EDITOR
# with the selected files. Rename them in the editor, save
# and quit. You will be presented with the rename script
# so you can inspect what will happen when you continue.
# renamer.sh will do the renaming in two steps. First all
# files will be renamed to temporary names with increasing
# IDs. Then the renaming to the final name will be done.
