I have filters setup so that all my important mail goes into one of LC, SS or REF and any list stuff (which i don't want to be alerted about but regularly check whenever i can) goes into evolution, mod_perl or htmltmpl. I then wrote the attached script that checks the size of the Inbox files relating to LC, SS and REF and writes the total size out to a file (which Gnome Inbox Monitor looks at and alerts me via a visual icon in a panel). The problem i am facing now is: * When Junk mail arrives, i do not want to be notified of it... however, i find that Junk mail is stored in the folder it originally got filtered to (eg. LC) and so the size of LC increases.... My questoin... is the mail "copied" to the Junk folder and if so... can i get it autodeleted from the folder...Well, not entirely sure (as I don't use the Junk Filtering option myself), but it should be possible to physically move Junk mails, rather than stuffing them into a vFolder. Disable the global Junk Filtering option and enable Filtering (which you likely already have). Then set up a custom Mail Filter to physically move Junk mail: if Junk Test, Message is Junk then Move to Folder, <spam> Make that the first Filter. (You might want to add a Stop Precessing action at the end of every Filter which is expected to trigger on mails that should never be caught by any other Filter.) That way these mails will never end up in one of your 3 Folders which are checked for new mail. Question to Jeff or Michael: Moving mails by Filters is the same as moving using the UI? So that mail still remains in Inbox, marked for deletion?
yes and no. if you are using POP and a Move filter, then the mail never gets delivered to your Inbox - otherwise, yes, it's the same (e.g. for IMAP it's the same and for on-demand filtering it's the same) Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc. fejj ximian com - www.novell.com
