I want to create a script or find out some way of marking a folder blue according to the datestamp of the most recent mail in the folder. Does that make sense?

Phil, I looked around and this is deep in the Roundcube service side code. It is detecting a new message in a folder since the last time you viewed the contents of the folder. I see has the folder list items are changed through css and how the server side code is receiving the request to check for recent. It get complicated after that. I cannot determine if it is keep state in roundcube or making a call to the IMAP provider. I am leaning to roundcube state.> On Dec 19, 2020, at 12:19 AM, Philip Rhoades <phil at pricom.com.au> wrote: > > David, > > > On 2020-12-19 00:08, David Morsberger wrote: >> Phil, >> Are you trying to find out how dovecot marks emails as unread? > > > No - I am trying to work out how New Unread Mails are highlighted in blue - see the attached partial screen capture - the two blue-highlighted RCM folders are highlighted in blue AND are also in bold - folders with OLD but UNREAD mails are just in bold. > > I want to create a script or find out some way of marking a folder blue according to the datestamp of the most recent mail in the folder. > > Does that make sense? > > Thanks, > > Phil. > > >> Assuming you are using maildir format, it appears to be encoded as >> flags in the email filename on disk. >> It?s briefly covered in 'Filename examples' >> https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir >> And in 'What can I put in info?' >> https://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html >>> On Dec 17, 2020, at 7:12 PM, Philip Rhoades <phil at pricom.com.au> >>> wrote: >>> Benny, >>> On 2020-12-18 09:28, Benny Pedersen wrote: >>> Philip Rhoades skrev den 2020-12-17 22:14: >>> Every few years I try to work this problem out >>> User-Agent: Roundcube Webmail/1.4-rc1 >>> please upgrade first >> It is a long-standing problem and upgrading RCM is not a solution . . >>>> - occasionally I would >>>> like to re-mark a dir as having new mail so that the dir shows up >>>> as >>>> blue-coloured in RCM. >>> please dont modify mails outside of imap protocol, >> Then how do I do what I want with IMAP? >>> if you use >>> roundcube it will not be needed to mangle shell accounts >> That comment doesn't make sense . . >>>> Every time I Google in vain and then have a go >>>> at working it out myself >>> if google have no answer to it, its simple not supported >> Quite frequently not true . . >>>> but the only thing I can see is that there is >>>> a change in the appropriate dir dovecot.index.log file after >>>> having >>>> the blue dir clicked on >>> dont mangle files outside of imap protocol >> You already said that - what is your solution then? >>>> (and the colour of the dir name changes back >>>> to black) - so is the information stored somewhere in RCM itself? >>> no >> OK, overall not a very helpful response . . but thanks anyway. >> P. >> -- >> Philip Rhoades >> PO Box 896 >> Cowra NSW 2794 >> Australia >> E-mail: phil at pricom.com.au > > -- > Philip Rhoades > > PO Box 896 > Cowra NSW 2794 > Australia > E-mail: phil at pricom.com.au <mailto:phil at pricom.com.au><RoundCubeMail_NewUnreadMail.png>-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
