Well, not very easily:
- You could setup a script which ran the dummy X server, Xvfb, then run up an evolution instance running in that which checked the mail.
- You could write a script/program which talked to the mail component via CORBA. Activated it, and then called sendAndReceive on it. That would probably still need a (dummy) X server.
So, in theory it is possible, although it isn't very simple and perhaps not entirely what you're after. I guess you can't just leave evo running overnight?

Hi, Is it possible to run evolution to download and filter emails from a cron job? When I startup Evo in the mornings, all my unfiltered new mail appears in the Inbox (most of which is spam / mailing list stuff). I must them wait for a few minutes while Evo filters the mail, in order to get to the relevant stuff. I'd like to filter mail automatically every 30 mins say, so that when I log in, I don't have a huge backlog awaiting processing. N.B. Don't bother telling me to use fetchmail/procmail/sieve/etc.. I'm stuck with an exchange server without server-side filtering options. cheers, Bryan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
