People,
Years ago I posted on a suggested improvement list somewhere to have an option to only list folders with unread messages (I have hundreds of folders and it that option would greatly reduce the necessary scrolling) but it never got implemented - I guess because it never became a priority for scarce development resources. While I would still like that previously suggested upgrade, I have another upgrade which might be more amenable to me having a shot it doing the work myself. I think it is probably a minor tweak so I could just apply it to new, major versions of the code as they are released. However, if what I wanted to do could be done as a Plugin, I would be interested in trying that route as well.
What I would like is, since there is already the facility to highlight newly arrived mails in blue - to modify this facility a little so that ANY mails that are less than 24 hours old are highlighted in blue. This would be useful for when I have had to exit out of RCM and reload it for some reason - currently all the blue highlighted mails lose the highlight on re-opening RCM.
If someone could point me to the place in the code where I could do this myself or how suggest I could do this as a plugin, I would greatly appreciate it!
Regards,
Phil.

That should be: "since there is already the facility to highlight FOLDERS with newly arrived emails in blue".
- to modify this facility a little so that

That would be definitely a plugin. It would do an ajax request just after initial getunread request, where it would go through list of folders doing an imap search for "unread messages arrived in last 24 hours".
Some hints for PHP code:
$rcmail = rcmail::get_instance(); $storage = $rcmail->get_storage(); $a_folders = $storage->list_folders_subscribed('', '*', 'mail'); $unseen_folders = array();
foreach ($a_folders as $mbox) { // IMAP SEARCH supports date-only format $index = $storage->search_once($mbox, 'UNSEEN SINCE ...'); if ($index->count()) { $unseen_folders[] = $mbox; } // you may also/instead need to check timestamp of the most recent message }
$rcmail->output->command('set_unseen_folders', $unseen_folders);
Of course, you'd need the client-side part that does the request and updates folders classes.
Also, considering performance you might need to store the list of unseen folders in some database and update the state when you like and remember when the user visited such a folder to not mark it unseen again, etc.
