[kdepim-users] New message script for KMail

[John Kennedy]

Hello all,
I want to write a script that will scour my kmail folders for new messages and 
read out the Subject: header using festival (Festival will read out "Folder 
<Inbox> has new message <Subject>"). This way I can hear about new email when 
I am away from my computer while working from home.
I have found where kmail stores the messages but have yet to find out how new 
messages are listed. I have looked at the Status: and X-Status: headers and 
see no difference between a read and unread message. I also noticed that 
after a while there is a bit appended to the file name of each message but 
that appears not to happen for some time after the message is read.
For scripting purposes, what is the best way to see if an email has been read?
Thanks,
John
