Re: [gotmail] SOLVED?? - Emails aren't fetch'd anymore ...

[John Fruetel]

Darn, I just checked my personal mailbox, which has a 250 meg limit and the 
generic gotmail_testing box, and it's what I thought.  The big mailboxes 
have a different folder ID scheme than the 2 meg boxes.

I just created that gotmail_testing box and it has a 2 meg limit.  I have no 
idea how MS is deciding who gets a 250 meg box and who doesn't, but it looks 
like new ones are 2 megs.

Anyhow, this means that gotmail MUST scan for the mailbox id now.  That's 
trivial code to add, gotmail already has a function for doing this.  But how 
can gotmail search for the words 'Trash Can' AND be language neutral?  A 
command line option for naming yor 'deleted' folder is about all I can think 
of.

BTW, the gotmail checked into CVS has a new option, --move <folder>.  This 
option will move mail into the named folder after downloading.  Janak, can 
you get the CVS build and try this new option, but use your "Trash Can" 
folder as the option? (or whatever it's called in your account)?  It would 
be --move "Trash Can".  That should have the same effect as deleting the 
mail after downloading.
