I use procmail to distribute the messages to the various (sub-) folders and boxes. With earlier balsa releases, "Check" checked the closed boxes, too, for new (unread) messages, which was a really great feature. Since a while, this feature has apparently been removed, and balsa doesn't check these closed boxes any more. I saw this only as someone whose mails had been moved silently into a closed box complained that I didn't answer her messages...Is it possible to get this feature back? Or do you know an alternative?
Hi Albrecht, Check out this thread: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2004-September/msg00007.htmlI was one of the people that noticed _long_ delays on startup due to balsa opening all my mailboxen, but I agree that not seeing new mail poses a problem.
Perhaps balsa could keep a 'last known modify date' for each (local) mailbox, and check these dates against the boxes on startup / periodically.
When procmail updates a mailbox, 'last modified' is newer than what balsa has, and therefore there's new mail.
This would probaby be a little more difficult to do with Maildir. Cheers, Kacper
