I simply dedicate one desktop to a fully maximised evolution and run all my other apps in one of any of the remaining ones (I run 8 in total). Works very well for me - and others, from what I hear on lists :-)It's not productive to keep switching to another desktop to see if you have new mail...Fair enough, if that's your preference. Personally, I couldn't disagree more and find it is NOT productive to get notice of new mail every time one comes. I get around a 100-300 emails a day, some very critical to my business but most mailing list traffic. I find no trouble jumping between desktops to check my mail when my time and inclination permits. Anymore than this and I'd be distracted and go crazy :-)
And because of filtering, all you have to do is bounce over and glance at the folder list and see if there are any new emails in the business-related folders. A plugin that pings when new emails arrive in *specified* folders would be useful, though. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
