Bug Description
I am running mail-notification 5.4 on Fedora 10. I have it set to start when I log on using the gnome session configuration. I am using NetworkManager for my internet connections, and when I log on while connected wired, mail-notification starts fine and continues running for the duration of my session. When I log on without a wire plugged in and in the presence of a wireless network that I connect to automatically, mail-notification crashes within about a minute of logging on. This seems to have something to do with the fact that it always starts before NM is done connecting to the wireless network, so I always have the flashing error icon in the tray. After I am connected, if I right click and update, it usually makes it crash faster. I've noticed that it also crashes sometimes if I lose my network connection for a minute.
Perhaps this could be fixed my making mail-notification aware of the connection state through NetworkManager? Other programs such as pidgin are able to do so. I think the was a feature request already anyways... ( https:/

this has been a long time since someone answers: does it this bug still occure to you? i have just tried with maverick, started mail-notification before nm finished with connecting: it gives an error that it cannot connect to the mailboxes, but it doesnt crash.
