My apologies if this is something that's already been discussed - I  
did a search but couldn't find anything on this specifically.  (It may  
also be something that's in Horde Groupware 1.2.3 - I'm using Gentoo  
and 1.2 is the latest version.)

I'm not sure I understand why the Dynamic Menu Elements are not  
refreshed when mail is received / deleted as well as on a set schedule.

I currently have the value set to 30 seconds to be as responsive as  
possible.  But if I have Imp open, and I receive an email, the portal  
itself may take up to 30 seconds to alter itself accordingly.  The  
same is true if I delete an email.

This doesn't follow the behaviour of either the count to the right of  
the Inbox folder itself, nor of the title of the Web page.  Both of  
those seem to be completely event-driven - so I'm not sure why, when  
those change, they do not manually issue a dynamic menu element refresh.

If this is something that shouldn't be implemented, I would still  
appreciate an explanation - as well as, hopefully, a code snippet that  
I could add to my personal installation so that I can get this working  
for me.

Thank you.
