Push notifications

[phsc84]

It would be great, if you could implement push notifications for RainLoop:

Most modern browsers support this feature (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Microsoft Edge will follow:

This feature would be real added value for RainLoop, especially the mobile version, because it would make dedicated mail apps more or less obsolete.

Hi,

Would also be great to have PushOver/Bullet notifications. Cause actually you got to open a web browser to check mails, thats clearly uncomfortable.

+1 for Pushover notifications on new mail. I use multiple accounts and would have to log in and out of each one to see if there's new mail. The other solution would be to add each mail account to my phone which I'm sure would deplete my battery very fast.

@f3bruary Set up z-sync to support ActiveSync then add your email accounts on your phone as Exchange AS. You can add multiple accounts to a main account in RainLoop, so you will be able to switch accounts easily without logging out/in.

Pushover/bullet notifications can be done easily, but the main login credentials are not stored (I believe). Obviously it needs a cron or daemon.
Checking for new mails & sending notifications can be done by a separate script, but it has nothing to do with Rainloop except the notification includes a link to the RL page. I may create one next week.
