Re: [Evolution] using gkrellm to monitor evolution mailboxes

[Jon Nall <nall themountaingoats net>]

hello.
i have a patch to add notification sounds/actions to the filter types.
it's not going to be included in 1.0. i'm unsure if it will be accepted 
for post-1.0 or if the ximian guys will roll their own. i know there 
are probably going to be some filter infrastructure changes to accomodate 
different filter types (there are some dependency issues with the 
current scheme). if you're interested in building your own evo, you 
can grab the patch from 
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437
attachment #347.

good luck.
nall.
