Re: [Evolution] Request: check mbox folders before entering not after exiting



Use maildir, and set 'check mail every n minutes' option.

I'm using exim to deliver mail, with rules in my .forward to send
messages for a couple mailing lists to the appropriate mbox files:

if $header_x-beenthere: contains "evolution ximian com" then
      save evolution/local/MailingLists/subfolders/evolution/mbox
endif

This appears to work fine, but if messages arrive while evolution is
running, it doesn't update the status in the Folders bar (e.g. the
unread count).  If I click on the folder in the Folders bar, evolution
doesn't show the new messages in the message list.  However, when when I
click into a different folder evolution does then update the status in
the Folder list, and if I go back to the folder the new messages are
there.  It would make a lot more sense to me if the state of the folder
was checked when it was entered instead of when it was left.

(If I'm doing something totally stupid here, feel free to tell me!  I've
read in the archives about using IMAP and filtering into its folders,
but that just doesn't appeal to me; I much prefer to have my email under
my $home.  Also, I know about Evolution's filters, but I'd rather have
the email filing for most mailing lists happening while Evolution isn't
running, since I also occasionally access my mail spool file by other
methods.)

Thanks to all the developers for a great program!

Note that I'm running version 0.99.2, from the package included in
Debian unstable.
