For some reason I feel like I already posted this, but can't find it.
So, here it goes. :)


Personally, I do use Mail Notification [1] currently, which pops up
notifications for new mails, but doesn't display the unread count.

There are others, like evonotify [2]. Having a look at GnomeFiles [3]
and searching for stuff like this probably is a good idea, too. And
finally, there always are non-GNOME apps like gkrellm, that can watch
mail accounts.


Apart from all the above, there recently was a post on this list about
an applet that actually listens to the Evo generated dbus message. One
of the Evo developers uses it personally and put the source on a web
server -- cause he didn't remember, where he got it from. :) I don't
recall the exact details of the message, unfortunately, only the fact I
deleted it today... :/

Hopefully he reads this post and mentions the URL again...
