Hi!
I understand I wasn't too clear about my problem.
So let's say I just grabbed some mail from my server. That
mail is taken by fetchmail and passed to procmail for filtering and
deliver. So far everything is great.
But if this happens when my pine is on and one message is
appended to one folder I have open in Pine at that very moment - that
message won't appear in the list. Pine has to be informed one way or
another that it has another message in that open folder.
Pine searches for new mail from time to time - a set amount of
time. My pine has this feature disabled. So I either close that
floder (by opening another one) and than reopen. Or, I can push the
down key for an update.
It's irelevant that I have disabled that feature that tells
pine to search for new mail. It would take up resources for no
particular reason. Because that "mail check" feature will still let
the problem unsolved.
So whenever I receive a new message in the opened folder, that
new message won't show up. Not right away. This is what I call an
unlisted mail... for lack of a better term.
If I have unlisted mail in the current folder and I hit ^X to
purge the files that are marked for deletion, Pine will hang up.
It's obvious Pine can't tell it has another message in that
folder if it doesn't look for new mails.
But it's still a stupid limitation. Because so far I have to
wait and go to the last listed message, than hit down, in order to see
if there is another mail. Say one new message just pops in exactly
after pine has checked. At that point Pine will _hang_. At least on
my system does. And there is no hardware problem. And I recompiled
my kernel - never work with those already made kernels.
Normally that isn't a big problem. I just can wait for all
mail be downloaded and sorted. But for example today I had something
like instant messaging via email with someone. And my pine kept
hunging up. This was disgusting. It was the first time I ever
thought I'd better change Pine.
Hope this time is Okay.
