[CSCMail-Users] Re: Sound Problems

From: Ben B. <be...@oc...> - 2000-10-17 18:30:01

Hey Ya'll,

	I was poking around in cscget this morning trying to figure out
what my sound problems were.  And I made a few adjustments to the script.
 I found that the sound was being played before any duplicate checking
was happening, so I switched things around a little.  Now it only plays
the sound if there are NEW messages on the server as opposed to ANY
messages.  Below is the diff after the changes I made.	I hope it's
useful to you.	I'm still working on the XMMS conflict. Cscget still
hangs if I'm playing any wav audio but it does it at the end of the
process rather than interrupting the mail retrieval.  I think this
problem has to do with linux or esd or my sound card or... 

Later,

Ben

Re: [CSCMail-Users] memory usage

or CSV... hehe

Actually, there are a couple of reasons why this occures with 1.6.1 ... First,
try a real DB instead of CSV (as Daniel suggested) second, upgrade to 1.7.x ...
There is a memory leak in Gtk-Perl involving font changing, and in CSCMail
1.7.x we don't make new messages bold anymore, instead we put a little icon
next to new mail... Cuts the memory usage dramatically.

What database are your running? CVS?

[CSCMail-Users] memory usage

From: Pedro G. <ped...@me...> - 2000-10-15 06:34:11

I've just installed CSCMail v1.6.1 on my Linux box (RH6.2, kernel 2.2.14)
and I have a problem with the memory usage.

I imported 129 messages into a new folder I made, "Work", (from a
Netscape folder file)... the entire size of the message file was about
1MB.  

When I click on the folder after starting cscmail it takes 60 seconds
before the message list comes up and my X memory usage jumps by 5MB.  If
I click on another folder, there's no change in memory usage of X or
cscmail, but then when I click back on the "Work" folder it takes another
60 seconds and X memory usage jumps by 35MB!

I don't have a super fast machine (266Mhz AMD) but it runs everything I
have quite nicely.  It seems like just creating a 129 element list should
take too long or too much memory.

I have XFree86 3.3.6, gtk 1.2.8, gnome 1.2.1, perl 5.005_03, Gnome.pm
0.7000, Gtk.pm 0.7002

Anybody have any idea what's going on and/or what I might be able to do
about it?

Thanks in advance,

--Pedro

[CSCMail-Users] Feature Request

From: Jason W. <wil...@cs...> - 2000-10-12 17:41:31

I know this mail list is mainly for support, but I'm not subscribed to the
development list and don't feel like getting twice as much list mail.

I am wondering if there are any plans to implement new filters. I would
love to see a "don't download" feature.

I have a friend who I'm trying to ween from his Win machine. He's used to
a feature in Outlook Express that lets you check the subject, among other
things, while the message is still on the server and not download it if it
meets certain criteria.

Apparently there are some messages that he wants to keep on his server and
some he doesn't. I can see how this would be helpful since my Pop3 Mail
server has some sort of "system message" that is required to sit in the in
box for the mail spool to work right. It would be nice if I could just not
download it instead of deleting it with a filter/rule every time it shows
up again.

Anyway, that's just my two cents.
