Binary package hint: evolution
Using Ubuntu Hardy.
Evolution uses the Mail Notification plugin. It is set to report on new email
in the "Inbox".
There are ~20 IMAP4 accounts configured each of which has its own Inbox. When a
new email arrives to any of those accounts Mail Notification reports:
"You have new mail"
but doesn't report to which account(s). This means the user has to open/expand
the account tree elements for each account to discover which account(s) have
new email.
It would be a nice enhancement if there was a 'Details' button in Mail
Notification or, better still, a list in the notification pop-up itself,
listing the friendly account names that have new email. |
Binary package hint: evolution
Often you get a mail notification:
"You have received 1 new message in INBOX."
It has an usability problems:
- I found no configuration tool to disable it.
- Only new messages in INBOX are reported, new messages in other folders are
ingored. It implies, that string "in INBOX" says nothing.
- I get no information, in which account the new mail arrived.
- My evolution has no "INBOX" folder. It has only folder named "Bandeja de Entrada"
(translated Inbox).
Fix:
- Make applet configurable (maybe also support right click on the tray icon to
configure it)
- Either say
"You have received 1 new message."
or say
"You have received 1 new message in your "Blah" account."
or
report all folders (must be configurable) and say
"You have received 1 new message in "INBOX" of your "Blah" account." |
