I've struggled with enabling, and then disabling because of slowness, the
option for showing unread messages for all folders rather than just the
INBOX. Because of how slow the folders refresh, I finally gave up and
wrote the following script that does the work for me, then emails the
results, which I can then read to see where my filters have put new mail I
have yet to read.
< Start of Script (more of my dribble after) >
#!/bin/sh
DATA="^M"
dircnt=0
fldrcnt=0
##### Functions
chkit () {
CHK=0
CHK=`cat $i |grep "^Status: N"|wc -l`
if [ "$CHK" -gt 0 ] ; then
DATA="$DATA"`printf "\n$CHK: $i\n"`
fi
}
##### Main program
# Check all 'first level' folders
cd /home/karlp/mail ; # could be cd /home/$USER/mail
for i in `ls|grep ^[0-3,IN]` ; # changed to [0-9,a-z,A-Z]
do
ALLCHK="$ALLCHK***$i"
if [ -d $i ]
then
dircnt=$(($dircnt+1))
else
fldrcnt=$((fldrcnt+1))
chkit
fi
done
if [ "$DATA" = '' ] ; then
:
else
LN=`printf "\n\n";printf "$dircnt Directories not checked\n";printf
"$fldrcnt
Folders checked\n"`
DATA="$DATA$LN"
echo "$DATA"|mail -s "Report: Unread Emails" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# or echo "$DATA"|mail -s "Report: Unread Emails" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fi
< End Of Script >
[ I have another script that also checks the main INBOX and only sends
everything if there's new email there. ]
This process is faster than using the option in SQM. I did a test just now
and it took about 4 minutes (me counting thousand-1, thousand-2...) to
have SQM do the count and about 13 seconds for the above script. Of
course, if you read bash scripts, you see that the above script only
searches for specific folders with a comment of how to check all folders.
I just modified the script so it looks at all folders and it took 93
seconds. That's still quite a bit faster.
I'm wondering if this type of process could be included in SQM? I've not
looked into the scripts that SQM uses as I'm not familiar enough with PHP
to know what/where to look. I even do my cgi in bash scripts...
I'm just trying to contribute something to an open source product I've
gotten pretty fond of. Thanks for putting up with me.
