One problem with most of the mail checking applets is they don't support secure IMAP and POP. More and more places are shutting down unsecured email ports so this becomes more of an issue. Since Evolution already has the SSL stuff in place it seems like having Evolution do some sort of notification would be a good thing for SSL users. Mike On Thu, 2001-11-08 at 17:43, E.

Maybe I'm thinking of Balsa, but doesn't evolution have some kind of "new mail" notification option? A beep? A small pop-up window? Anything? If not, and if one's not planned for sometime relatively soon after 1.0 is released, can anyone say something about evolution updating IMAP folders? If I use a mail checker applet or Pine, it recognizes when a new mail arrives, but once I read it with evolution, it never registers that the "N" flag has been removed on the server. This is not a problem with Netscape mail. Both Pine and my mail check applet (Flink) notice that the "new" messages have been viewed (i.e. the "N" flag disappears). I haven't tried it with Mozilla mail. I did a quick scan of bugzilla.ximian.com, and saw several somewhat similar complaints, but almost invariably the blame was laid on the IMAP server. BTW, Flink is the only mail checker I've found that seems to be properly designed to work with IMAP...gbiff crashes EVERY time, and the Gnome Mailcheck applet keeps spinning if there are old or new messages in my INBOX. Has anyone had much luck getting any other mail checker to work with an IMAP INBOX? -EJR _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
