Hi everyone, and a good new year to you.

I don't see any way to have an indication of new mail on the panel

icon. Am I

missing it?

There is a project here: 

https://launchpad.net/evolution-indicator

,

but the last

version is from 2011, and there is no Debian Buster package, which is

what my MX

Linux 19.3 is based on.

Thank you,

Paul

Hi & Happy New Year,

I use Evolution in Gnome on Arch and use Mailnag to notify me of emails

in the system tray.

Mailnag comes in 2 parts, a small program that runs in the

backgroundand and a gnome extension. Apparently it is available for

Debian.

You set it up to monitor your email accounts. When you get a

notification you can click in it to open your mail client (evolution)

More details are available here:

https://github.com/pulb/mailnaghttps://github.com/pulb/mailnag

Note that some (all?) notification agents detect new mail by accessing

your account, which in the case of IMAP accounts will cause messages to

lose the Unseen flag. This will affect Evolution's automatic filtering

since only Unseen messages are filtered.

poc

That's a good point. I also considered that if I kept a third-party notifier I probably would turn off Evolution's own automatic mail checking, lest I be polling the server twice over, and then invoke it manually when I bought it into focus. An onboard checker would be a better solution.
