Sample case: I review my Junk mailbox occasionally, just to make sure
nothing got trapped in there, but I'd like to review it only when,
say, 10 messages have piled up. My ideal rule would watch for the
number of unread messages, and when it goes over ten, it would toggle
the "Displayed Count" property of the mailbox from "No Count" to
"Unread." Alternately, it can just notify me by script or otherwise.
But I can't figure out how to count messages...
I cannot think of a way to do that using smart mailboxes. It would
require some kind of mailbox-level condition which would be a
completely new concept in MailMate (all current conditions are message
based). The query system in MailMate knows nothing about mailboxes.
It's an interesting idea though. I think most things could be done if
actions could be triggered based on a single condition on some aspect
of a single mailbox, e.g.,
Count of [mailbox] > 10
Size of [mailbox] > 100MB
Attachments Size of [mailbox] > 100MB
This could be part of the current rules GUI and used with or without
message conditions. For your problem then you would also need a new
action type (“Set Mailbox Count to [Unread]”).
Well, just thinking out loud here :-)
Right now, you can run an external script which increases a counter
(saved to disk or to a defaults variable). This hack could solve the
first part of the problem, but I don't see any way to solve the second
part of the problem without me implementing a new action method for
rules.
