[unixbhas...@gmail.com: Notify-send pop up for specific mails]
- Forwarded message from Bhaskar Chowdhury - Kindly throw some light. Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2021 09:41:28 +0530 From: Bhaskar Chowdhury To: ke...@8t8.us Subject: Notify-send pop up for specific mails Hey Kevin, I was wondering and hovering through the manual pages ,it failed to come to eyes, so asking you .. I have a line like this in my muttrc : set new_mail_command="notify-send --icon='/home/bhaskar/Pictures/neomutt.png' \ 1 'New Emails' '%n new messages, %u unread.' &" The problem it pops up for every new mail arrive. All I need to know about when I am in the TO or CC field or received mail from some specific individuals, then only the notify send pop up. Any clue? I saw some rexexes but couldn't figure out how to apply them. More over is there any "in-built" way of getting that??

This has the advantage that they still happen when mutt is closed (if you can call that an advantage). How?? Show us...share with the people .. Ok I collect my email with getmail, deliver to my local "+spool" mail folder, a Maildir (~/mail/spool). I filter my messages using mailfer: https://pypi.org/project/cs.app.mailfiler/ which monitors multiple Maildirs for new messages, and files them according to per-folder rules. So it watches spool, spool-in, spool-out, spool-to-phone etc. "spool" winnows some spam and lets the rest through to spool-in. spool-in files to my inbox, various mailing list folders etc. Anything not matched lands in +UNKNOWN. It is mostly spam. spool-out is what mutt's $record is set to - mutt saves sent mail there and mailfiler refiles it. spool-to-phone just has a rule to forward to my phone's email account. So, alerts. Mailfiler rules are usually quite simple, like this: !me Work from:(ALERT) which says to match messages from addresses in the group "alert" and do 2 things: - "me" save a copy in my +me folder, my "priority inbox" - "!" run the $ALERT command with the message and save a copy to the targets named in $ALERT_TARGETS They're set like this: ALERT=alert ALERT_TARGETS="F,spool-to-phone" So $ALERT runs my "alert" command, a script. Details below. $ALERT_TARGETS says: - "F" (F)lag the message (same as mutt's (F)lag command) so that it is highlighted in mutt's index - "spool-to-phone" save a copy in my +spool-to-phone folder, which mailfiler also monitors (its rules say forward a copy to my phone's email account) The desktop popup comes from my "alert"r script: https://hg.sr.ht/~cameron-simpson/css/browse/bin/alert?rev=tip That will issue alerts to a variety of places depending on envvars and options particularly my dlog (a timestamped text log I use for reviewing things, since my invoicing system is a ghastly hack held together with string) and to the desktop. Thanks! .but depending too much of other software makes it fragile and prone to error and least to say it is complex. Ordinary mortals(i.e me) who has less technical bend of mind, will run away from this. I do understand simplicity can not achieved without by digging and getting into the rabbit hole...again but...how many are willing(including me, I am an truest sense lazy person) ... Anyway, your manipulation to get the simple task done very commanding ,alas! If I could follow. Not to deny, I do fall on fetchmail , procmail et al along with mutt(the love for something do wonder) , but more to it ...nope... The "desktop alert" part of that script is in the $to_desktop if-statement at the bottom. Presently I'm on a Mac and use the "terminal-notifier" command to issue a normal Mac Notification popup. I'd be using whatever Linux desktop notification command line were suitable were I on Linux. notify-send is the "lightest" and "efficient" way of doing it on Linux. I presume there _is_ a standard way to issue a popup alert on Linux systems these days? I used to just always run a permanent very short full-width terminal across the top of the screen tailing a log file myself, crude but effective. The same terminal also accepted commands if you typed them. Anyway, that is how this is hooked into my email. Suggestions for current Linux or other UNIX desktop popup command line tools welcomed. As mentioned use notify-send. Finally, I don't have the ability to create something native(think of it as excuse not to put effort,if you like :) ) OR we don't want mutt to be convoluted with some "airy-fairy" stuff. I am happy with it's limitation(partly because of my lack of understanding and as mentioned ability to extends it,being using it for long time though).

It operates at the same time as $beep_new - running when Mutt detects new mail in the open mailbox or any of the monitored mailboxes. For more sophisticated notification, you'll need to use another tool. Well, after bit internet searching I have stumbled upon on this page and it solved what I was looking for. http://enricorossi.org/blog/2016/mail_notify_with_procmail/ ...I do have mutt+fetchmail+procmail setup..just take the essence out of those..

How to create local label and enlist/see them
Well, I am trying to figure out ,how it could be done . As the subject line said , I need to create specific label on certain message and later wanted to view them in pager . Probably if I wish , selecting one of them and see those specific label mails.(Not sure though is this something "l" or "limiting" features does?) Okay, IIRC , I plucked out some code ..from where I can't remember though ...but it is like this : # labels index y "set editor=\"~/bin/editlabel append\"\n\ \ set editor=vim\n" "Append label" pager y "set editor=\"~/bin/editlabel append\"\n\ \ set editor=vim\n" "Append label" index Y "set editor=\"~/bin/editlabel menu\"\n\ \ set editor=vim\n" "Edit labels" pager Y "set editor=\"~/bin/editlabel menu\"\n\ \ set editor=vim\n" "Edit labels" index \Cy "~y " "Limit view to label" Okay, the thing is SHIFT-y is predefined in mutt to append/edit/delete labels. I can only see ,while pressing Shift-y, that prompt me at the bottom "Edit Label: ...now, if I put some text there and enter it says "Label created" but how to see those label??? Well, are you confused yet?? If you not ,good news ...if yes, do let me know ...so I can clarify the confused part. Thanks, Bhaskar signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I modified "index_format" to show the label string at the right-hand
edge of each line.
The default value for index_format is:
%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s
My .muttrc sets an extended version:
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s%* %?y? %y?"
If a message's label string is non-empty, it will be shown prepended
with five spaces and right-aligned, overwriting a long subject.

I use "Y" to edit label in Mutt, which is for a new header added and looks as following: X-Label: MY-LABEL Then if I do search like by using "/" I would enter: "~y MY-LABEL" to find the next message, or I could limit the view to "MY-LABEL" labeled messages by using "l" and "~y MY-LABEL", that is how you find those messages. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.

Re: Search program that can find an E-Mail with an exact Date: match
Well, you might give it a shot a program called "Notmuch" or "Mu" ...both are mail indexer and search . Importantly , they have machanism to integrate with most of the editors. Thanks, Bhaskar Chris Green writes: I'm looking for a way to find (and display) an E-Mail when I know the exact value of the Date: header. The 'usual' search programs such as Mairix can't do this as they all expect a date range and also expect it to be at least a day long. I've also tried grepmail but that seems not to be able to search maildir E-Mails. Is there anything out there that can do this? I can grep for the E-Mail but then I'm left with the issue of extracting the body/text which is what I actually want. Can I 'pipe' the mailbox (found by grep) into mutt and then get the output on stdout, that's what I'd need. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Every first day of the month, the report is a summary of the month, and I would like to only keep those one. I know how to filter mail using ~d. But that's only for one specific day. I tried something like ~d 1/*/* but got 'invalid month */*' Also tried ~d 1/[1-12]/2022 but got 'invalid month [1-12]/2022' How could I do? How about running it on every month end, so you don't have to run it like for whole year(that was you were trying, right?) If you want to keep only the 1st date pdf and remove rest of days in month pdfs then you can simply do so , by doing ~d02/month/year-30/month/year ...likewise for the month having 31 days too. You can easily create an macro to bind it to a key to invoke that,so you don't have to remember the syntax. Not sure, if it solve your owes. Or probably I misread your need. -- Thanks, Bhaskar "Here's looking at you kid"-- Casablanca https://about.me/unixbhaskar signature.asc Description: PGP signature
