No Longer Updated

I do not have access to an instance of Ocean Mail Server at all any more, much less MCoOL's particular installation. I therefore cannot update this script any more. If it breaks, I doubt I'll be able to fix it. Unfortunately.

Historical Description

It always frustrated me that MCoOL insisted on using a mail service (Ocean Mail Server) that didn't auto-refresh and wouldn't notify the user of new mail. I wrote this script to add functionality to that site.

Current features are reloading the Inbox every three minutes and a primitive Gmail-style (doesn't display if it's zero) counter in the title that shows the number of unread messages on the page. (It was a two-minute update interval, but I think it was hitting a rate limiter.)

Future plans include hopefully adding a user-configurable update interval and perhaps a "Mark as Read" button to implement a missing feature in the interface.
