Updating the MailTrackerBlocker result in lost tracker history

Open Jee-Bee opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

After updating the MailTrackerBlocker the counter for the amount of found trackers starts again with 0. I think it is interesting to see:

  • what trackers has been found
  • how often are trackers found
  • how does the time change the found trackers
  • in what mailbox are trackers found (if you have multiple) It would be great if MailTrackerBlocker have a way to have acces to previous history

Completely overlooked the multi-mailbox scenario. These temporal stats are a great suggestion also, thanks!

Do you happen to remember which version you updated from? Was the list of trackers (bottom half of the Tracker Report) completely cleared too?

what trackers has been found

Is this different from the list of trackers here in red?

According to homebrew i upgraded it from 0.4.6 to 0.4.12 but i'm quite sure i updated in between from the tracker itself. About the list of trackers: Yes I assume that the list is cleared too. When i checked the list i had only 5 trackers shown while before it were twenty something(2x).

Updater doesn't touch your tracker stat/history. MailTrackerBlocker keeps a rolling 30 day time slice of tracker stats then purges data that is older than that. Most likely cause is that the data was >= 30 days old.
