-- Well, I got it finally; I had assumed that the e-mail notifier was like a plug-in to the e-mailer, but in fact it's the other way round, so to speak. One has to set up the e-mail notifier to point to one's external e-mailbox (Googlemail, in my case), complete with POP and SMTP addresses, encryption modes, etcetera, just as one sets up an e-mail client. Then it performs properly, sets a password and stores it in the default keyring, and (at least, if it is the same as the general log-in password) allows you to log in to both at once. However, the symbiosis between the e-mail notifier and the Evolution client is still far from perfect, I would say; an exorbitant number of clicks are required to get from the appearance of an e-mail notification icon in the tray to a read message in the client and a removal of the icon from the tray, all of which should ideally happen with one click on the icon. The e-mail notifier appears to prefer to send you to the Googlemail site itself, to read your mail; the number of clicks required is fewer if you do that. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
