Can Gnus show which folders have new mail?

Can Gnus show which folders have new mail?

[Eze Ogwuma]

Hi,

Is there a way to get Gnus to indicate which folders have new mail
messages? I use nnml to read my mail and when I type "g" I would like
to have Gnus highlight the folders that have got the new mail until I
enter them or exit Gnus.

Use "%m" in gnus-group-line-format.  It won't highlight the group name but
it shows a "%" mark if the group has new mails.

>From Gnus info:

...

`m'
     `%' (`gnus-new-mail-mark') if there has arrived new mail to the
     group lately.

Use nnmail-new-mail-p in gnus-group-highlight.  Here is mine:

(setq gnus-group-highlight `(((nnmail-new-mail-p (gnus-group-real-name group)) .
			      ,(custom-face-lookup "Gold" nil nil t nil nil))
			     ((string-match "announce" group) .
			      ,(custom-face-lookup "Magenta" nil nil t nil nil))
			     ((> unread 200) .
			      ,(custom-face-lookup "Red" nil nil t nil nil))
			     ((and (< level 3) (> unread 0)) .
			      ,(custom-face-lookup "white" nil nil t nil nil))
			     ((and (< level 6) (> unread 0)) .
			      ,(custom-face-lookup "white" nil nil t nil nil))
			     ((and (< level 10) (> unread 0)) .
			      ,(custom-face-lookup "Salmon" nil nil t nil nil))
			     ))

Thanks

I'll give both of these a try and see which I prefer.
