Mail Notification

Mail Notification

Mail Notification monitors your mailboxes for new mail. 

It works with system trays implementing the freedesktop.org System Tray Specification, such as the GNOME Panel Notification Area, the xfce4 Notification Area and the KDE System Tray.

Its user interface is deliberately kept simple and straightforward.  However, advanced users are catered for with ways to run commands in reaction to events, customize the popup buttons, obtain a XML message list, modify the appearance of the application, etc.

When a mailbox supports it, Mail Notification listens for changes reported by the mailbox rather than polling it periodically. This mode of operation provides immediate notification of changes and reduces the system and network resources used by Mail Notification.

 Mail Notification 5.2
