Subject: more verbose expiry?
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:42:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sjqtlp39.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Is it possible for the expiry process to give more details?
I have populated
nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
so that when I "E" articles e.g. in my gmail INBOX and then expire the
group, some of those marked E go to the trash, while others go
(hopefully) to more appropriate destinations (for example, any mail
to-from my wife goes to a particular folder). So I use expiry for
archiving.
For the most part, this works fine for me.
But the report given in the *Messages* buffer is not useful for tracking
down any misconfigurations; e.g. this is typical:
Expiring articles...
Expiring article INBOX:19736
Expiring article INBOX:19737
Expiring article INBOX:19741
Expiring articles...done
I wonder how hard it would be to have those *Messages* say more? Could
they indicate for each article what the outcome of the expiration
process was (i.e. the destination folder)? And maybe give more
human-identifiable info about the expired articles than their numbers?
(Or maybe this is already possible and I've overlooked some
configuration option...?)
