Conky 1.8 issue

Oh, I'll just repeat the instructions:

Download the patch.txt file from the PR, put it in /usr/ports/sysutils/conky, run
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/conky && patch < patch.txt

Then download this diff, put it in /usr/ports/sysutils/conky, run
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/conky && patch < maxpipekva.diff

Then either install or upgrade your current Conky.
 
I do have a new problem after these two patches: the imap_unseen(*) functionality now only works for my INBOX, not for a number of folders that it used to work on as well (with the -f flag). No errors (the IMAP server's mail log appears to register connections), all counters stay 0.


[cmd=](*) man conky | less +/imap_unseen[/cmd]
 
Note: the problem in the post before this is solved. For some obscure reason the mailbox you want imap_{messages|unseen} to act on suddenly needs to be single-quoted.

So instead of -f mail/freebsd it needs to be -f 'mail/freebsd'. Go figure.
 
There's no mention of it in the manual, no. You'd have to use tunnelling (ssh/vpn) to achieve encrypted traffic (which I'm doing).
 
I see. Well, I actually wrote a Perl script which looks for new Mail with IMAPS and displays it in Conky.
