[...] Cool. An alternate approach to the problem: track the place Gnus is getting its mail from. `display-time-mode' has some built-in support for this. My MTA delivers new mails for me to a Maildir at ~/Maildir, so with (setq display-time-mail-directory "~/Maildir/new/") I can get "Mail" in my mode line when display-time-mode is on and mail arrives at ~/Maildir. In the Maildir format, the new/ subdir is where mails arrive; when Gnus processes them, whether by marking them unread or flagged or splitting them to other folders, they are moved to cur/, so new/ will only contain new, unprocessed mail. There are also options to use an mbox file or an arbitrary function to test for the rpesence of new mail every time `display-time' updates. If you use Gnus `mail-sources' to control where your mail comes from, you might try (setq display-time-mail-function 'mail-source-new-mail-p) _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
