Is there a way of getting GNOME 3 to notify me if I have email available for my imap based account? Thanks Steve -- Website: www.stevesearle.com Twitter: @ReddishShift Facebook: www.facebook.com/steve.searle 15:29:09 up 2 days, 6:28, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.00

Dunno, I think a small application keeping an eye out is probably better than keeping a behemoth email programming running all the time.

+1 Especially when you use different mail clients (e.g. both thunderbird and web mail) -- Marco

Dunno, I think a small application keeping an eye out is probably better than keeping a behemoth email programming running all the time. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.

I use mutt. It doesn't have a notifier scheme. Steve -- Website: www.stevesearle.com Twitter: @ReddishShift Facebook: www.facebook.com/steve.searle 17:44:34 up 4 days, 8:43, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

I agree but for some mail account I use the web browser as mail client. -- Marco

It is far more appropriate for your mail client to do this - they all do as far as I know (thunderbird, evolution and gmail web may even have a notifier scheme ?)

It works well (it supports both POP, IMAP, GMAIL, YAHOO,...), even if its look and feel does not integrate very well with GNOME 3. For instance, the systray icon has an "horrible" greyish background. I hope Fedora maintainers will make it look better.

I should correct myself... In addition to systray icon, the notification system and the tooltips are not so integrated as well. -- Marco

Hi, I'm actually using mail-notification. It works well (it supports both POP, IMAP, GMAIL, YAHOO,...), even if its look and feel does not integrate very well with GNOME 3. For instance, the systray icon has an "horrible" greyish background. I hope Fedora maintainers will make it look better. Best, -- Marco

Actually, mutt, being a text based mail client, does have a text based mail notification scheme in the header bar (you just use mailboxes=blabla to monitor those for notification) ... seems appropriate to have text notification in a text based mail client (tho I do understand the desire for GUI features .. ) :-)
