Public bug reported:
Usually I have a lot of unread messages in more than one mailbox on my system,
and I've added those mailboxes to mail-notification.
When a new message arrives, a pop-up notification allows me to know of the new
message and that's OK.
The problem happens when I reboot the system (or just restart the
notifier daemon for whatever reason); mail-notification would then check
for every unread message in each mailbox and notify me for every one of
them. So, suppose I've 100 unread messages scattered around the
mailboxes, and with my configuration of 15 seconds pop-up duration, this
amounts to 25 minutes worth of pop-up notifications which is "REALLY"
annoying.
I normally would think that if mail-notification have notified me before
for an unread message, then, in general, it shouldn't notify me again
for the same message, even after the daemon has been started (like when
rebooting the machine). But, if that behavior is considered normal (and
I doubt that for a user who always have busy mailboxes), then at least
there should be an option that lets the user tell the daemon explicitly
that he/she wants to be notified of any unread messages in the mailboxes
after starting the daemon.
