Was going to just ask John Kennis, but thought others might be
interested:
I'm using bbmail-0.6.6 w/Mar.31 blackbox 0.60 alpha to check a remote
mailbox by parsing the output of fetchmail -c (IMAP proto) with a
short perl script. The relevant lines in my bbmail.bb:
bbmail.mailbox.1.mode: 1 # displays unread/total
bbmail.mailbox.1.proc: fetchmail -c | /home/beal/bin/bbmailparse.pl &
The last line of the perl script reads:
print ($newmail, " ", $totalmail, "\n");
which I believe is the correct syntax for bbmail, namely 2 integers on
one line.
It seems to work just fine when I first run bbmail, but subsequent
automatic mail checks do not update the unread/total flags. (I'm
fairly confident the checks are being performed; I can see the
telltale spike in network traffic at regular intervals, but perhaps I
assume too much...)
Kill-HUPing bbmail reproduces the symptoms -- flags update first time
only, and no more. Anyone have an idea what's wrong? TIA...
p.s. I'm back running BB after a brief KDE/KWM exile -- don't know
why I ever left. ;)
