Hey guys! So I'm trying to figure out how to make a counter that will automatically display the number of subscriptions I have based on incoming emails. I have emails that come in every time someone has subscribed and every time some one unsubscribes. Id like to use these as a trigger to show me at a glance how many subscriptions I have. Something like a digital counter maybe a 7segment display? Any ideas?!

Python script that that watches your email for a subscription and ups the counter

Maybe even simpler: filter subscribe and unsubscribe to one folder each. That use your favorite scripting language to check the total count in both folder. The rest is simply ($subscribe-$unsubscribe) given that you have each an every mail still around. Else you need to fix this by starting from 0 for your folders and adding the fix number of subscribers at that time.

And while you are at python: tinkerforge.org has cool lcd-displays which are easy to program. And you could even attach blinking lights to any event.. Like "new subscriber" party.. ;)
