Hi Markie, yes, there is some code that was introduced into the forthcoming 3.1 release that adds support for the various notification mechanisms: Growl (MacOS) and Libnotify (Linux) and whatever the windows equivalent is. However, a recent comment on bugzilla indicates that it might have been pulled due to a blocking bug for the time being: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463 There is however a Thunderbird extension that adds the Indicator Applet and libnotify support which you could use for the time-being: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/indicator-applet-libnotify-support-for-thunderbird/ HTH Al -- The Open Learning Centre http://www.theopenlearningcentre.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
