✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-newmail-plugin — bestie this is a whole plugin that writes a message header summary to a log file 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so first things first: this manual page documents the claws-mail-newmail-plugin package, briefly. Lowkey essential reading, fr fr.

This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Yeah, no cap — Debian had to step in and do it themselves 🙈

claws-mail-newmail-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

This plugin writes a summary of new mail headers and message related values to a log file. And the way it does this? Writing is done after sorting. Periodt.

The message headers written are: "Date:", "Subject:", "From:", "To:" and "Cc:". Iconic lineup honestly 👑

Additionally the message related values currently written are the following:

"Size:" : The size of the message in bytes. (numbers bestie, just numbers)

"Path:" : The full path to the message file.

"Message:" : The number of the message.

"Folder:" : The folder of the message.

💅 USAGE 💅

Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. No shortcut, bestie, it's a whole ritual 🕯️

For this you must go "Configuration" menu on main window toolbar, open "Plugins..." dialog, click on the "Load plugin..." button and select the plugin file, named newmail.so, and press the "Open" button.

That's it. That's the vibe check. ✨
