[gaim-migrate @ 3824] Adds an option for unread mail notification for AIM over oscar. Yippy. This involves making a connection to the email AIM servers (parallel to chatnav, bos, auth, ads, etc.). Also added were functions n' stuff to handle getting mail status updates. AIM does this in a very silly way. They only tell you how many messages you have when you sign on, so I had to change connection_has_mail so it will just say "bleh has new mail," without saying the number of new messages. Also, I haven't really looked into having you auto-login to webmail, though it is possible. This is good for now. Oh, and since I'm sure people will ask... AIM screen names come with an email account @netscape.net. You have to sign in to netscape.net to activate it. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
