Well, I'm not sure that it's adequate yet. I'm testing with a small subset of my procmail filters, and it does seem to be rather slow. I'm trying to find a way to have mail notification (or at least have the new message count and bold font appear) whenever new messages appear in a number of mailboxes. Evo doesn't update automatically for local folders, and I keep having to manually check five or so different boxes for new mail. > Also note that evo can't yet use a script as a filter (i.e. the script > can't alter the message), only as a test. Already noted. This is a shortcoming, but not really for me. Luckily the scripts I'm using can all do their job by checking the return code. If altering the message were necessary, I guess one could get really sneaky and have the script do the alteration and re-submit the message to the mail spool and dump the unaltered version in /dev/null. The filter system could be set up to recognize the modified message second time around and deal with it appropriately. > > > _______________________________________________ > evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution -- Michael J.
