Here's from my original jc> post: 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. -- Amos
