Hey Dan,

I didn't know about that rfc yet! Let me dig into it a big more to check if we can support that. What I can definitely say is that we can add the message partid to the URI. If that is helpful, this shouldn't be a problem. ;)

The application for which the notification is being displayed is the one which the user authorizes the online account for. What I need to check myself is whether the URI from the notification is then sent directly to the application or if other apps can "compete" for it as well. If the former is true, the situation is clear. If the second one is what happens, then the new UI you mentioned should be used automatically by the URI dispatcher. To be honest, I'd prefer the first one as in that case the user could simply give another application access to the account if they wanted it to receive email notifications.

The reason why I wanted to put the app id in there was to enable applications to filter for "their" notifications in case they want to use different email clients for different accounts (e.g. the Gmail app for a Gmail one and Dekko for their Yahoo account). This would only be needed in the second case outlined above though.

I'll look into the questions brought up here. Thanks!
