I deal with it by putting things at different levels.
Seems a shame though to have to manually calculate if there's new
mail. I thought if you select a folder (or a 'noop' if folder
already selected) the server will tell you if there's new mail since
the last operation, assuming a persistent connection is maintained.
Yeah, here's a session:
. select "inbox"
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen $Forwarded $MDNSent gnus-expire gnus-save gnus-forward)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen $Forwarded $MDNSent gnus-expire gnus-save gnus-forward \*)]
* 3748 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 856998971]
* OK [UIDNEXT 81231]
. OK [READ-WRITE] Completed
(Okay, so I've got a large inbox.)
I then sent a message to myself....
. noop
* 3749 EXISTS
* 1 RECENT
. OK Completed
Seems a shame not to take advantage of that some how.
