Aah, now I understand.

There is no such setting that I'm immediately aware of - but I am automatically getting messages for my folders. So I'm assuming it's doing something in the background: most likely a periodic sync for the entire account.

Definitely doesn't sound like the behavior you wanted, my bad. But, at least there are notifications on the folders once mail is received. 😅

Edit: In the repo for their sync engine it explains:

Mailspring uses a fairly basic syncing algorithm, which runs on two threads with two open connections to the mail server. Within each thread, work is performed synchronously.

Background Worker: Periodically iterates over folders and (depending on the supported IMAP features) uses CONDSTORE / XYZRESYNC to check for mail or performs either a "local" or "deep" sync of part of the folder's UID space.

Foreground Worker: Idles on the primary folder and wakes to syncs changes. Also wakes to perform other tasks, like fetching message bodies the user clicks.

So the foreground worker only idles on the primary folder, but it does slowly iterate over all folders in the background.

No settings have been added for this functionality (that I'm aware of).

Edit 2: Went back and read your original comment; hadn't noticed the PR was yours. If that's the case then you're probably aware of how the sync works anyway. My bad if I've posted stuff you're already aware of.

Oh, the Guardian - I see what you did there, and I love it.

~~Regardless, happy to see at least one troll creature slithering away from the public light. I wish the same would happen to some of the more prolific, Jewish-Space-Laser-Conspiracy touting types.~~

Edit: Should have read the whole thing through before commenting. Looks like she's just trying to sweep the bad PR under the rug, which was linked to her old account. The dream is dead.

Fastmail.

Can you choose which folders use real-time push vs which folders use polling?

I'm afraid not. I'm pretty sure the entire account uses polling. I'll usually open the app and hit F5 to quickly poll for results, otherwise I'm waiting for the next sync.

Having said that, the unread counter works fine for sub-folders:

Edit: I was wrong, Mailspring uses the IMAP IDLE extension to wait for new mail delivery. Still doesn't stop me from spamming F5 when I'm waiting for new mail to arrive.

Notifications on folders a have been added (I sort all my mail into a plethora of folders, keeping my inbox empty, so for me this is non-negotiable), and they all sync with a single f5 now.

Might be worth checking out again?

Mailspring, best client I've used in a while.

While I grew up playing the original Crazy Taxi (in arcade machine form, no less), I'm certain it would fail if released with the same gameplay formula today.

Some changes were necessary, for sure.

Having said that, making it massively multiplayer with a persistent open world definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction.

Something more akin to a modern roguelike with an expanding gameplay area and meaningful vehicle upgrades between runs probably would have been enough.

But, having said that, I'm hoping the studio is able to make something great. I'm very-cautiously optimistic.

Because it annoys me deeply when people nerd out over difficult-to-search-for acronyms without ever bothering to explain it for people not in the know:

The web comic's called "the Parking Lot is Full".

It ran from 1993 to 2002, and while the original site has been down for years, you can still browse parts of it via archive.org.

I always liked their UX, and never noticed any outright bugs?

But, yeah, definitely dislike the Spyware - I recall having to adb shell into the device and manually disable those processes after each update.

Shame they include that, their devices are (otherwise) really great.

It has a little something for everyone.

Pricey!

That garlic cilantro compound butter sounds like a great addition; well done!

I hope so too, but also highly doubt it. It is still Capcom, let's not get too excited. 😅
