Hello:
I am trying to build a macro to apply a function to the current maildir,
but I can't find the way to capture the current maildir into a variable.
The idea is as follows: I synch my mail with mbsync, which I run from a
crontab entry at different time intervals for different mail folders.
Some times I want to manually force the synchronization, if for example
I'm expecting an email in a maildir which has a low cycle, or I'm doing
some testing and I need to check my inbox faster than my cron does.
At the moment I have a few macros to do that on my inbox, my 'new',
'day', and 'old' groups of maildirs:
macro index \" "!/usr/bin/mbsync inbox\n"
macro pager \" "!/usr/bin/mbsync inbox\n"
macro index ?? "!/usr/bin/mbsync new\n"
macro pager ?? "!/usr/bin/mbsync new\n"
macro index ( "!/usr/bin/mbsync day\n"
macro pager ( "!/usr/bin/mbsync day\n"
macro index ) "!/usr/bin/mbsync old\n"
macro pager ) "!/usr/bin/mbsync old\n"
That does the job, but what I would really want is to force the synchronization
of the current maildir I'm working in. A while ago somebody (I don't think it
was here in the mailing list, or I'd have kept the thread) suggested me to use
the following folder-hooks and macro:
# Need to upgrade to > 1.8.0 (setenv)
folder-hook . 'set my_folder=$folder;set folder="XXX";set visual=^'
folder-hook . 'setenv MYSYNCFOLDER $visual'
folder-hook . 'set folder=$my_folder'
macro index \! "!/usr/bin/mbsync \$MYSYNCFOLDER\n"
#macro index \" "!echo \$MYSYNCFOLDER\n"
Now that I have finally upgraded, I'm trying it out again and, when I press ! I
get an error message:
Macro loop detected
The only info I can find which contains that string is written in cyrillic
alphabet, so I don't understand a single word. :-)
Any pointer to what the problem might be, please? I understand how macros
work, but I'm very new to hooks and I'm not grasping them well enough yet.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
??ngel
