Here's how I convinced Emacs's (19.34) display-time to be useful:
(setq display-time-mail-file "/home/rjd/incoming/biff")
And then I have a cron job that looks like this:
Thanks, but what I had in mind was something that could tell me how
many messages there are in each folder, i.e. something like
Mail:1 Procmail:1 Spam-Law:322
... perhaps only when I ask for it (so as not to clutter up the mode
line).
Yours could probably be improved a bit by either doing the logging
from Procmail straight to the "biff file", or running something from
your .login to only update the biff file while you're logged in -- or
simply making display-time look directly at your Procmail log.
(I don't know, I hate the idea of running cron jobs for everything.)
Hope this helps,
