Depends on what you are doing right now. In short - I would like to put the incoming message into right 'tray' - needs immediate attention, to be dealt during next coffee break, to be dealt at home, to be dealt during weekend, to be dealt when I finish current task. Sure - you don't want to list all those options. > Setting the status as Busy from the user menu works better in this case > IMO (and notifications are replayed when you set yourself as available > again). As I said the problem is that you need to set it manually. I don't remember to set it and in some cases I don't want to set it: - I may still decide that notification is important enough to be dealt immediately. I'm not sure how widespread it is and weather there have been any studies but to be honest I have "fear" of lost mails/notifications. - I may forget to turn it on back. Borrowing analogy from (in)famous suspend discussion - if my phone turns sounds off when I am at certain place why should I dealt with available/busy > > - Allow to just close the notification instead of relying on > > in-notification buttons > > You can remove the notification right clicking on it. Hmm. Doesn't work for me. It opens empathy/skype context menu. Regards
