** Summary changed: - Notification icon should report which account has new email + Mail notification applet does not give useful information
** Description changed: Binary package hint: evolution - Using Ubuntu Hardy. + Often you get a mail notification: - Evolution uses the Mail Notification plugin. It is set to report on new email - in the "Inbox". + "You have received 1 new message in INBOX." - There are ~20 IMAP4 accounts configured each of which has its own Inbox. When a - new email arrives to any of those accounts Mail Notification reports: + It has an usability problems: - "You have new mail" + - I found no configuration tool to disable it. + - Only new messages in INBOX are reported, new messages in other folders are + ingored. It implies, that string "in INBOX" says nothing. + - I get no information, in which account the new mail arrived. + - My evolution has no "INBOX" folder. It has only folder named "Bandeja de Entrada" + (translated Inbox). - but doesn't report to which account(s). This means the user has to open/expand - the account tree elements for each account to discover which account(s) have - new email. + Fix: - It would be a nice enhancement if there was a 'Details' button in Mail - Notification or, better still, a list in the notification pop-up itself, - listing the friendly account names that have new email. + - Make applet configurable (maybe also support right click on the tray icon to + configure it) + - Either say + "You have received 1 new message." + or say + "You have received 1 new message in your "Blah" account." + or + report all folders (must be configurable) and say + "You have received 1 new message in "INBOX" of your "Blah" account." -- Mail notification applet does not give useful information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
