[mew-int 2850] biff multiple cases

Hi Mewers, :)

first let me thank for that wonderful piece of software, I am using Mew
now for about 3 years and really enjoy it - Thank You!

now, is there a way to check multiple accounts (cases) if there has
arrived new mail? as far as I understood, only the active case is
periodically polled for new messages, but I would like to have some or
all cases being polled and informed, if there is a new message.

thanks for any advice in advance!

best regards

[mew-int 2851] s/mime digital signatures

Hi - I am having trouble getting the S/MIME digital signature
feature to work in Mew running in Emacs on ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit).

I am running Mew version 6.3 on the Emacs version below:
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of
2009-11-10 on crested, modified by Debian

I followed the instructions at to configure S/MIME:
http://www.mew.org/en/feature/smime.html

However, when I go to sign the message, using the
"mew-smime-sign-message" command, I get the following in the *Messages*
buffer:
S/MIME signing...done
No specific reason given for jroth <at> ll.mit.edu

If I use the mew-pgp-sign-message, I get the following errors in
*Messages*:
PGP signing...done
No secret keyring or no your secret key

I generated the certs.pem file using gpgsm, as described in the URL
above.  I am using gpgsm version 2 and gnupg version 2.

I have never used Mew before, but am wondering if I need to use the
older version Mew 6.1 to get this to work, as stated in the link below:
http://www.mew.org/en/feature/

On the other hand, it seems like gnupg is simply not recognizing my

[mew-int 2852] How can I delete invalid messages safely?

Hi guys 

Gmail is my daily email service provider. I have still subscribed the
'All mail', so after reading the messages in the '%inbox', I can refile
them to '%[Gmail]/All mail' just like 'Archive' in Gmail's web page.

But there will still be invalid messages in the '%[Gmail]/All mail' 
after doing the operation above. And there will be more and more messages
in the folder. I just wanna 'Archive' them to the Gmail IMAP server and
I do not want to see and need them off-line.

According the info, it talks about deleting invalid message off-line.
I can't figure out whether the `s' operation is safe or not. Most of 
the time I use Mew online and refile the messages in '%inbox' by `o' & `x'
not `lx'.

Can I just remove the messages files in the directory like 
'~/Mail/#imap/foobar <at> gmail.com <at> imap.gmail.com#imap/[Gmail]/All Mail'

or is there any way to not show the invalid messages in '%[Gmail]/All Mail'
and keep my refiled messages safely in the IMAP server?

Best regard!

[mew-int 2853] Re: How can I delete invalid messages safely?

Hi vvoody,

If you sync the %[Gmail]/All mail folder by pressing s, the messages will
no longer appear as "invalid," and deleting or refiling them will then
be correctly applied to your messages on the gmail server.
Unfortunately, the sync can, of course, take a while if you have not
done it recently.

Best regards,
Will

Although the invalid messages disappears, Mew retrieves the messages after 
pressing 's' and choosing 'update'...

What's up?

[mew-int 2855] Re: How can I delete invalid messages safely?

As far as I understand it, an "invalid" message is simply one in your
local mail folder whose existence Mew has not yet verified on the IMAP
server.  Once Mew updates the folder containing the "invalid" message,
it's no longer invalid, and if you delete or refile the messages, the IMAP
server will be updated as well.

I guess I'm not clear on what you want...

Hi Will~

1. Make 'All Mail' show in IMAP in GMail's setting
2. Update Mew by `C-uZ'
3. Go into %inbox and use `s'(update) to retrieve some messages
4. Refile one message to 'All Mail' by `o' and choosing '%[Gmail]/All Mail'
5. Press `x', you will see the following lines one by one in mini buffer:

   Communicating with the IMAP server...
   Refiling 1 message in background...
   1 message refile

6. Go into '%[Gmail]/All Mail', you will see the refiled message in it 
   with a '#' mark.

What I want is not showing the invalid messages in the '%[Gmail]/All Mail'.

It seems to work. Thank you, William
