Attached little pgm will do the trick, needs kernel 2.4 since it uses dnotify. Be aware of setting it up, requires access to tty's so either start it in rc.local file or _NOT_ preferred as suid or su. Anyhow, I just monitor my Inbox with it, you can modify it to play different sounds for different mailboxes, I exclude all incoming mail from mailing list by rules, so they don't get into my Inbox and therefore I don't get to many beeps. And I use a beep which is different from the normal terminal beep, so I know that I got mail, and not a compilation finished in another workspace. Since it uses the kernel to get notified it really shouldn't matter which evolution you are using. If you got trouble, play with the repeat number in the main loop or the timeout parameters, it excludes normal evolution house keeping from beeping. Hope this helps. Ronald BTW. Works only with local mail, pop3, mbox .... And you _MUST_ change the path info in 2 places for your env. before compiling, it's just a quick hack. On Mon, 2002-08-05 at 14:29, Nick Jennings wrote:
Hi, Been using a little WindowMaker dockapp called 'wmbiff' to play a little sound when new messages arrive. I thought I could easily have evolution do this from now on (since I've switched to it) however the filters don't seem to have an option to play a sound. How do I go about setting this up in evolution? (If there is even a way to do it).
