From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: The total number of unread mails in folders don't update until I actually click on a folder. This means to find out if I have new mail I have to click on every folder, wait a second to see if the total updates, move on to the next folder etc.. I told evo to check for new mail every minute, but it seems that it doesn't actually do anything. My mail is delivered by fetchmail, as I do filtering into two groups (stuff I read with mutt, stuff I read with evo). Evo is configured to just read mail as mbox spools from my homedir. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.5-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description 2. 3. Actual Results: nothing happens until you click folders, it appears I have no mail. Expected Results: Every minute, rescan the folders. Better yet, use directory notification and only update those folders which changed. Additional info: Ironically, the moving-between-each-folder-to-see-if-theres-new-mail was the reason I moved from mutt -> evolution.
Talk to alexl about how ... "well" using dnotify works :( If you want this, use evolution to actually deliver your mail to your mboxes, not fetchmail. There's also an upstream bug about this (I've seen it mentioned on the evolution user's list, but don't remember the bug # off hand)
