Bug#367443: procmeter3: The inbox count only goes up, never down
Package: procmeter3
Version: 3.4e-1
Followup-For: Bug #367443
Following up on the previous report with this subject:
It appears that Mutt does not change the mtime of the mailbox when deleting
email; therefore, the 'Update' function in the 'biff' module, which checks
for a changed mtime, never triggers. The included patch will simply check
the mailbox every 'update' seconds (the value is hard-wired in the module,
and can be re-defined in the ~/.procmeterrc file) and reset the email count
regardless of the mbox mtime.

Bug#367443: procmeter3: The inbox count only goes up, never down
Package: procmeter3 Version: 3.4e-1 Severity: normal The inbox count displayed in procmeter3 does not decrease when the emails are deleted from the inbox, although it does increase when new email arrives. Relevant ~/.procmeterrc configuration: -- [Biff] # label-foreground = blue text-font = neep-alt-bold-14 foreground = white run = rmutt # update = 5 [Biff.Inbox_Count] label = -- Just FYI, here's what the file looks like before and after email deletion: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/mail/ben -rw-rw 1 ben mail 136069 2006-05-15 19:52 /var/mail/ben [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -c '^From ' /var/mail/ben 18 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/mail/ben -rw-rw 1 ben mail 131318 2006-05-15 19:52 /var/mail/ben [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -c '^From ' /var/mail/ben 17 -- The first 'ls -l' was executed just before deletion with Mutt; the second was several minutes after.
