Hi Lionel, the author of mail-notification states in his Errata on mail-notification's website:
"If your FAM or Gamin package uses a fast kernel notifier (imon/inotify/dnotify/kqueue/...), Mail Notification might not correctly detect the unread mails of mbox, MH, Maildir and Sylpheed mailboxes. If you experience problems, you should apply the patch disabling immediate notification for these mailbox types (see above)." Do you feel like you fall into that category? The patch he provides disables immidiate notification... but how does that help you? -Pascal On 5/13/05, Lionel Vaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Package: mail-notification > Version: 1.1-3 > Severity: wishlist > > > Hi, > > Some MUA (e.g. mutt) handle gzipped mboxes [1] well. mail-notification, > however, is unable to detect new mail in these. > > It would be a nice and useful feature to add. > > Cheers, > iouri. > > [1] A particularly useful feature, especially when one archives all of > debian-user :-) > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 3.1 > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2005.03.31-18.15 > Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) > > Versions of packages mail-notification depends on: > ii gconf2 2.8.1-5 GNOME configuration database > syste > ii gnome-icon-theme 2.8.0-4 GNOME Desktop icon theme > ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D > graphi > ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit > ii libbonobo2-0 2.8.1-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library > ii libbonoboui2-0 2.8.1-2 The Bonobo UI library > ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries > an > ii libeel2-2 2.8.2-1 Eazel Extensions Library (for > GNOM > ii libgail-common 1.8.4-1 GNOME Accessibility > Implementation > ii libgail17 1.8.4-1 GNOME Accessibility > Implementation > ii libgconf2-4 2.8.1-5 GNOME configuration database > syste > ii libglade2-0 1:2.4.2-2 library to load .glade files at > ru > ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines > ii libgmime2.1 2.1.14-1 MIME library, unstable version > ii libgnome2-0 2.8.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime > file > ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.8.0-1 A powerful object-oriented > display > ii libgnomeui-0 2.8.1-3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User > Interf > ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.8.4-3 The GNOME virtual file-system > libr > ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-9 GNU TLS library - runtime library > ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface > ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Inter-Client Exchange library > ii libicu28 2.8-4 International Components for > Unico > ii liborbit2 1:2.12.2-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA > ORB > ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of > internatio > ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline > parameters > ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction > library > ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System Session > Management > ii libsoup2.2-7 2.2.3-2 an HTTP library implementation in > ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System protocol client > li > ii libxml2 2.6.16-7 GNOME XML library > ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) > configu > ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime > > -- no debconf information > > -- XBGM# (http://xbgm.sf.net) MoviXMaker-2 (http://sv.gnu.org/projects/movixmaker) [e]MoviX[2] (http://movix.sf.net) Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org)
