Question #221128 on VM changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/vm/+question/221128
Robert. D Houk gave more information on the question: OK, after delving more deeply into things, I believe that the Recreating summary should be a maximum of level 8 if not level 9. I base this on the relative usefullness of "Recreating summary" vs much more useful messages such as: 1) "9 messages deleted" ("k"ill thread of messages) at level 5 (vm- kill-subject in vm-delete.el) 2) "Checking for new mail..." (both 'vm' command at level 6 and vm-imap-folder-check-mail at level 6 in vm-imap.el) 3) "Retrieving message <n> (of <m>)... " at level 7 in vm-imap-report-retrievel-status in vm-imap.el This could be viewed as a regression from vm 7.19, as 7.19 would report <n> messages deleted and NOT overwrite the message immediately as is the case in 8.2.0b. If you make it ("Recreating summary") level 8, then you will pretty much maintain today's default behavior (since default vm-verbosity is 8), and by the user (e.g,. "me") setting vm-verbosity to 7, I get all the useful messages (my interpretation of "useful"), and not the annoying (to me) "Recreating summary" overwriting more useful messages on EVERY "d"elete and "k"ill (and a bunch of other) command(s). >From my point of view, case 3 above (individual message retrieval summary) is >the most important, as it is the message that announces "stalled" when the IMAP server buries its head in the sand (happens a lot here). I hope this all makes sense to you. -RDH -- You received this question notification because you are a member of VM development team, which is an answer contact for VM. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~vm Post to : vm@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~vm More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
