* more verbose expiry? @ 2011-06-28 19:42 George McNinch 2011-06-30 2:43 ` Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: George McNinch @ 2011-06-28 19:42 UTC (permalink / raw) To: ding 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...?) -- George McNinch <gmcninch(at)gmail.com> http://gmcninch.math.tufts.edu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
