Hi All, I have the need to alert an external program ("Inbox Monitor" under gnome, which is much like xbiff as far as i'm concerned :-) when new mail has arrived in certain folders. I have the following setup: Inbox -> LC -> SS -> REF -> Lists -> evolution -> mod_perl -> htmltmpl Where LC, SS, REF, Lists are subfolders of Inbox, and evolution, mod_perl, htmltmpl are subfolders of Lists. I have filters setup so that all my important mail goes into one of LC, SS or REF and any list stuff (which i don't want to be alerted about but regularly check whenever i can) goes into evolution, mod_perl or htmltmpl. I then wrote the attached script that checks the size of the Inbox files relating to LC, SS and REF and writes the total size out to a file (which Gnome Inbox Monitor looks at and alerts me via a visual icon in a panel). The problem i am facing now is: * When Junk mail arrives, i do not want to be notified of it... however, i find that Junk mail is stored in the folder it originally got filtered to (eg. LC) and so the size of LC increases.... My questoin... is the mail "copied" to the Junk folder and if so... can i get it autodeleted from the folder... If Junk is a "virtual" folder... how can i either: * Tell from the message headers that a message went to Junk or * Tell from a certain file that the message is filed in Junk I can then modify my script to look at message headers instead of file size etc... simran.
