GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 568657
Mail notification does not show new e-Mail in Inbox-Subfolders
Last modified: 2010-06-14 18:27:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: With filtering mails from different accounts to different subfolders of Inbox-folder new e-Mails are not displayed when they are in subfolders. Only Inbox-Folder throws new-mail-notification to systray, but subfolders should also do - otherwise the filters are useless - User wants to be notified to EVERY new mail Steps to reproduce: 1. setup subfolder to inbox + setup filter mail 2. send yourself mail that will NOT be filtered -> new-mail-notify / send yourself a filter-mail -> NO new-mail-notify 3. try it Actual results: Expected results: new-mail-notify for every mail Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I am waiting for this since some Gnome releases... Please include this in the next release - I guess it should not be a big thing for you to implement this
-1 until we have per-account notification options. In my case, this would be fine for my home account since I only receive a few non-spam emails a day. But on my work account I'm subscribed to 30+ mailing lists and don't want to be notified every time someone posts a message. This might be better implemented as a filter action: If incoming mail satisfies my conditions, then: - Issue notification (using my notification preferences) - Move mail to folder X
Hrm. I committed a fix for bug #534369, where this behaviour changes. Note there was no notification in 2.30 due to a bug. I'm marking this as a duplicate, because it changes behaviour as reporter requested. Note you can always check "For Inbox only" in Edit->Plugins->Mail Notification->Configure tab, to not be notified on subfolders (and vice versa, when you want to be notified on every new email). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 534369 ***
