GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 610885
New mail notification
Last modified: 2010-02-23 22:07:38 UTC
With msn, there should be a new mail notification or at least a shortcut that takes you to your inbox (similar to what is in pidgin). Since hotmail keeps your emails on their server, using pop3 is not the greatest option. Even though empathy is not a "email client" it should be able to tell you if you have new messages.
