[courier-users] Courier 'new mail'

[LuKreme]

I know dovecot has a command that returns the names of all the mailboxes with new mail (and the counts, as I recall), but I'm not using dovecot.

Is there a simple way to query courier to get this info or do I simply have to query each individual mailbox?

Start with the following, make it as fancy as you want:

for f in $HOME/Maildir/.*/new
do
echo $f `ls $f`
done

Right. I was looking for an IMAP solution. Something I could query Courier with.

Also, since many messages in /cur/ are unread, and therefor for all intents and purposes, 'new', I suppose I should have said unread instead of new.

If you want an IMAP solution, use any IMAP utility that claims to do that.
There's nothing special about Courier. An IMAP utility that shows unread
message counts in IMAP folders will work with Courier as well as with any
other IMAP server.
