the user has to manually click the mail folder to refresh the message list. Postler should refresh automatically as changes are pulled from the server

here is a patch that uses a gio FolderMonitor to auto refresh the message list of the currently selected folder.

[Allen Lowe (lallenlowe)]

I just realized that I setup the FileMonitor to monitor the "cur/" directory in any given mailbox, it also needs to monitor "new/" right now the inbox isn't refreshing properly because of that.

I just created a second patch that adds a FileMonitor for the "new/" directory also, here it is.

So you basically wrote the same code once more. I would actually prefer a small function that takes a path name and a callback (delegate) to avoid the duplication and make the code clearer.
Also thinking of unified folders in the future, we could re-use the function to monitor any number of folders at once.

[Allen Lowe (lallenlowe)]

Yeah, sorry about that. I would be happy to refactor that code in to a function. But I may not get to it until this weekend or possibly even later as Dexter has been taking up my time.

I am going to try to get to this tonight (Friday, November 12 2010), if all goes as planned.

ok, here's a patch that supersedes the second patch on this page (as that patch was never used). I have re-factored the file monitoring into a simple function, as requested.
