GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 240523
GNOME 2.2 notification area should be used for new mail notification
Last modified: 2004-03-08 05:28:33 UTC
Description of Problem: GNOME 2.2 has a new notification area that can be used to notify the user about certain events using icons. I'd like to see Evolution to use this area to notify the user about new E-mails. The GNOME Inbox monitor applet is very limited (only one mailbox can be monitored) and Evolution could do a much better job. It could also be a background task that uses the Evolution mail backend to check for E-mail and can launch "full" Evolution when necessary. In other words - I'd like a replacement for the Inbox monitor applet that uses the Evolution mail settings and the notification area might be a good place for this to run.
I second this.
