Do you subscribe to a lot of mailing lists? If so, do you have a mail
filter that sorts incoming messages into different bins without bothering
you? If so, you may find the included scripts useful.
In my bin directory is a symbolic link, "xlbiff-bulk", that points to
the xlbiff executable. In my .Xdefaults file are the following resources:
xlbiff-bulk*background: purple
xlbiff-bulk*foreground: green
xlbiff-bulk.checkCommand: Bcheck -f %s -p %d
xlbiff-bulk.scanCommand: Bscan
xlbiff-bulk.mailerCommand: /bin/true
xlbiff-bulk.bottom: true
xlbiff-bulk.geometry: -0+70
xlbiff-bulk.led: 0
xlbiff-bulk.refresh: 0
xlbiff-bulk.resetSaver: False
xlbiff-bulk.sound: play -v 20 /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/clink.au
xlbiff-bulk.volume: 0
xlbiff-bulk.rows: 35
Running "xlbiff-bulk" gets me a window on the top right of my screen
with an output something like:
A/lert 1
tools-group 1
C/release 2
software 1
H/ 3
comics 16
M/agenda 3
debian 14
debian/lap 8
ssh 3
zaurus 10
zaurus/oz 34
Z/spam 20
These are various subfolders and sub-subfolders, e.g. ~/Mail/A/lert. My
folders are organized by priority, with A/* the highest and Z/* lowest. As
more mail comes into each bin, the count for each one gets updated. When I
read and delete mail in a given bin, the count drops.
