Updating status
posted by Ville Lehtinen (anonymous) - 2002-12-02 13:17:18

Whenever there's new mail, this app begins blinking. But even when the mail is deleted, it keeps blinking and does not update the message counts. What's up?
Re: Updating status (Patch)

hihi.

Ran into the same problem, and one more.

First off, when you hit mouse button 2 (middle) while another modifier is engaged, for example numlock, it won't spawn your mail client or whatever app you have configured to execute on button #2. This condition still needs to be tweaked a bit to handle a few differing conditions. But for now you can spawn your mua as expected, and control+middleclick for the config program.

Checking for new mail can sometimes get hairy because of the way email client and servers handle things such and mtime/atime/ctime, etc. Sometimes your mail spool will be mounted over nfs which can also do goofy things with atime depending on the client and server combination.

I've changed the mail checking scheme to check for size changes, instead of relying on timestamps alone.

Here's a patch to try out, it works great for me. Hope it works out for you as well:

Nice, but pop3?
posted by Apparatus (anonymous) - 2003-01-03 07:45:55

Nice interface. Possibly add pop3 support for the sylpheed users?
PoP3 :)
posted by Pho-Real (anonymous) - 2003-02-20 10:44:01

Yeah man,...pop3 support would make it even better!!
Pop3 support
posted by Bratag (anonymous) - 2003-03-26 01:02:32

Ok so I hacked the code to bits and added pop3 support and the ability to name mailboxes and a check immediately buttong - the basic interface is in the same style as the original.

I am working on cleaining up the code to this and 2 other apps in the same style, but if you want the code then email me until I get it put up on dockapps.

As for the flashing problem I havent really looked at it because I just click the 3rd mouse button in the window and it stops it - but I guess I will check it out sometime.

How to set up a hotmail ACC?
posted by RH (anonymous) - 2003-07-03 16:10:46

i installed the app, but im not sure how to add the hotmail acc? i ran the wnmaiload-config but still not sure whats the hotmail server and so i use the - between Server-user-pass or a blank space Server user pass ? help

posted by Thomas Nemeth (anonymous) - 2003-07-03 17:03:17

pop3 and hotmail support is not yet fully developped : it seems that some bugs remain :(
If one can help, I would appreciate...
pop3
posted by alyent (anonymous) - 2003-07-07 23:56:53

I read the man page, but still can't figure out what should I write in .wmmailoadrc to make itcheck pop3 account. What is the format of the mailbox string for pop3???

posted by Thomas Nemeth (anonymous) - 2003-07-08 03:09:00

pop3 and hotmail seem not to work for the moment. But if you want to try, here is the
format that you can use either by editing ~/.wmmailoadrc ou using wmmaiload-config :
MailBox = POP3 server user pass
MailBox = HOTMAIL server user pass
MailBox = MBOX filename
As explained in the man page : "A mailbox is
defined with a maximum of 4 space-separated
fields : type, file-or-url, username and
password."
yeah

segmentation fault
posted by Daedalus (anonymous) - 2003-11-04 18:44:16

I get a 'segmentation fault' every time I start wmmail with 'www.cycos.net' as server. If I take something else (foo.bar.org) it works.
Is there a bug with *.net URLs?

That seems pretty strange.
Can you use gdb on it (not stripped) and, when it fails,
tell me where it fails ? Send emails directly to me...

POP mail
posted by Ales (anonymous) - 2004-01-14 22:47:08

Hi,
when I start wmmaiload (0.10.0), it say 316/316, and the program intepretes this as new mail.
when I check regular mail, of course there is no new mail.
What is the case?
This is my .wmmailoadrc file.

# CheckSize : boolean (use files' size to check for new mails)
# Default : False
#
CheckSize = True

# Update interval : integer (seconds)
# Default : 1
#

# Default : nothing
#
Command = sylpheed

# Default : nothing
#
Notify = sylpheed

# Blinking enable : boolean
# Default : yes
#
Blink = No

# Default box to display : integer (not usefull for only 1 mailbox)
# Default : 0 (first one)
#
DefaultBox = 0

# Delay between pop3/hotmail checks : integer (in seconds)
# Default : 30
#
Pop3Delay = 30

# Run Notify-command only when switching from 0 new mail to >0
# Default : False
#

If you file looks really like this, it's normal that it fails :)
Anyway, if your only mail box is pop3, then it's the pop3 server that
tells wmmaiload what is new and what is not.

pb with IMAP
posted by gael combe (anonymous) - 2004-09-14 02:41:15

my email serveur work with IMAP protocol. When i have a new mail, the counter of old mail increase but the counter of new mail is always
equal to zero ?
Any solution ?
Re: pb with IMAP
posted by Armin Bühler (anonymous) - 2004-09-29 18:50:44

It sounds like you are running a mail client parallel to wmmaiload
which is automatically jumping to the new mail at arrival time and
therefore marking the mail as read.

What syntax do I use in the .wmmailoadrc file for an IMAP mailbox?
RE: syntax
posted by Thomas Nemeth (anonymous) - 2004-10-07 07:39:46

The one specified in the man page :
A mailbox is defined with a maximum of 5 space-separated fields : type, file-or-url, username,password and folder.

So :
Mailbox = IMAP imap.yoursever.com:port your_login your_password folder
pb with IMAP

I also have the same problem with an IMAP account, and i haven't a parallel client reading the email...

I'm using debian sarge and wmmaiload version 1.0.0

Thanks for any help,
Bart.
pb with IMAP
posted by Paulo Bartolomeu (anonymous) - 2005-01-10 09:44:12

Well... I managed to put it into operation...
The thing was that I started (and docked) the application before actually configuring it...

When I configured first and docked after, it all started to work well...

segfault - pb in .wmmailrc
posted by cga (anonymous) - 2005-03-26 16:58:36

Was looking for a news ticker dockapp and found this really sweet mailchecker. Works nicely all round but wmmailload takes a segfault at startup when "non Mailbox" stuff such as commented out mailboxes of even empty lines occur at the end of .wmmailrc.

here's a bt:

#0 load_cfgfile () at main.c:1141
#1 0x08049acf in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff304) at main.c:210
#2 0x40147507 in __libc_start_main (main=0x8049a2c
, argc=1, ubp_av=0xbffff304, init=0x8049350 <_init>, fini=0x804e270 <_fini>, rtld_fini=0x4000dc14 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffff2fc)
at ../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:129

as expected wmmailload-config also takes a segfault.

But very nice. I've set up a new wmaker desktop with mainly dockapps with this same metal look and it looks very nice.

Since dockapps are not skinnable I hope some of the uglier albeit useful dockapps get rewritten this nice clean look.

Thank you.

I have comments at the end of my configuration file. I cannot reproduce this bug ! Could you send me an example of a config file that makes wmmaiload segfault ?
Sent email to tnemeth
posted by cga (anonymous) - 2005-03-28 23:25:37

Hello Thomas,

I sent a more detailed account via the mailto thingy on this page to "tnemeth" but since there's no valid email address I'm not sure you'll get it.. Basically stating that besides the comments there are also empty lines at the end of the cfg file. I still have a copy of the .wmmailoadrc file and I was able to recreate today doing a "wmmaiload -f .wmmailoadrc.bug". Since the dockapp.org mailto does not support attachments, plz let me know where/how you want me to send it to you.

Cheers,
Chris.
Memory leaks?
posted by tao (logged user) - 2007-03-30 02:46:37

Does anyone else find this dockapp leaks like a sieve? After about 20hrs operation (scanning an IMAP account) it's got 48Mb of resident memory and over 9Gb of virtual memory.

For comparison, I'm in the process of writing my own dockapp (also scanning IMAP, but written to deal with MS Exchange rules moving unread email to different folders) and it takes only 7Mb resident and currently 71Mb virtual after about 4 days solid operation.

Re: Memory leaks?
posted by awb (logged user) - 2007-04-28 11:14:52

Have you tried the latest version (2.2.1) from Chris home page? I can remember me about a memory leak, but I think it was fixed.

I'm scanning my IMAP account against a dovecot daemon, currently for ~2 days with 5,3 Mb resident. and 35 Mb virtuel
