NAME¶

claws-mail-multi-notifier - Multiple notification modules for new mail.

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-multi-notifier.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

claws-mail-multi-notifier is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

Provides various ways to notify the user of new and (possibly) unread email.

The following modules are currently implemented:

Banner

Popup

Command

LCD

SysTrayicon

Indicator

USAGE¶

Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...” dialog, click on the “Load plugin...” button and select the plugin file, named notification.so, and press the “Open” button.

CAVEATS¶

Some IMAP servers (for example Gmail(TM)) doesn't implement the “\Recent” flag on messages[1]. Therefore, notifications about new mail will be unreliable on these servers.
