Mike Bitd says what does this do that kmail can't?
This is synchronous with the arrival of a mail, so kmail doesn't freeze for 5 to 15
seconds while it does it. Puts it all in the background and kmail only freezes long enough
to go get
it and sort it into the proper folder, a few milliseconds at worst case.
Its all part of my incoming mail, reducing my part to a mouse click to go to the next
unread
msg.
Lesson from a frustrated teacher:
Computers are supposed to do work FOR you, not make more work. So make it do the
drudgery stuff by itself. So I write bash scripts.
One click to go to the next unread msg, one click to reply if I can help, and one click
to send my reply after typing it. Whats not to like? And this script has been running
here in various incarnations for at least a twenty years.
Originally used dcop but that fell out of favor a decade+ back up the log. Or when I
bailed out of fedora because fedora was always broken, but that was a good 15 years ago.
