About Mail Notification Mail Notification is a status icon (aka tray icon) that informs you if you have new mail. It works with system trays implementing the freedesktop.org System Tray Specification, such as the GNOME Panel Notification Area, the Xfce Notification Area and the KDE System Tray. Mail Notification features include: * multiple mailbox support * Evolution, Gmail, IMAP, Maildir, mbox, MH, Mozilla products (Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, ...), POP3, Sylpheed, Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail support * SASL authentication support * APOP authentication support * SSL/TLS support * automatic detection of mailbox format * immediate notification (the status icon is updated immediately or within seconds after a mailbox changes) * message popups * HIG 2.0 compliance 2. Dependencies Mandatory: * GNOME (version 2.14.0 or superior) http://www.gnome.org/ * libnotify (version 0.4.1 or superior) http://www.galago-project.org/ Optional: * for IMAP, Maildir, mbox, MH, Mozilla, POP3, Sylpheed, Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail support: GMime (version 2.2.7 or superior) http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/ * for Windows Live Hotmail support: GetLive http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/ * for Yahoo! Mail support: FetchYahoo http://fetchyahoo.twizzler.org/ * for SSL/TLS support: OpenSSL (version 0.9.6 or superior) http://www.openssl.org/ * for SASL authentication support: Cyrus SASL (version 2.0 or superior) http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/sasl-library.html * for Evolution support: Evolution (version 2.12 or superior) http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/ 3. Installation instructions To configure, build and install Mail Notification, use the following commands: ./jb configure ./jb build sudo ./jb install Note that a number of settings can be passed to the configure stage, for instance: ./jb configure prefix=/opt cflags=-O3 pop3=no For details, use: ./jb help For more informations about JB (the Jean-Yves Lefort's Build System), read jbsrc/lib/README. Note to Sylpheed users: if you want more responsive notifications, apply the patch data/sylpheed-locking.diff to Sylpheed and recompile it. 4. Issues in third-party software affecting Mail Notification * Thread-safety bugs in libgnomeui may cause Mail Notification (and other multi-threaded GNOME applications) to crash or hang. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152023 fixed: - FreeBSD port x11-toolkits/libgnomeui >= 2.10.0_1 - libgnomeui CVS >= 20060102 - libgnomeui >= 2.13.2 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312180 fixed: - FreeBSD port x11-toolkits/libgnomeui >= 2.10.1_1 - libgnomeui CVS >= 20060208 - libgnomeui >= 2.15.90 * An infinite loop in GnomeVFS may affect mailboxes which use HTTP authentication (for instance, Gmail mailboxes). http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310596 fixed: - GnomeVFS CVS >= 20050724 - GnomeVFS >= 2.11.90 * If GnomeVFS was built with GnuTLS support, a GnomeVFS bug may cause Mail Notification to crash when accessing a mailbox over SSL (for instance, a Gmail mailbox) with GnomeVFS. The crash is accompanied by an error message similar to the following: mail-notification: ath.c:181: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed. Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x2cc0)! http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172813 fixed: - GnomeVFS CVS >= 20050411 - GnomeVFS >= 2.11.1 * An infinite loop in GnomeVFS may affect mailboxes which use the GnomeVFS bzip2 method. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322652 fixed: - FreeBSD port devel/gnomevfs2 >= 2.12.1.1_4 - GnomeVFS CVS >= 20051201 - GnomeVFS >= 2.13.2 * A bug in GnomeVFS may prevent successful authentication if an username or password contains special characters such as '@'. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89106 fixed: - GnomeVFS CVS >= 20050716 - GnomeVFS >= 2.11.90 * A bug in GnomeVFS may occasionally cause mbox, MH, Maildir and Sylpheed mailbox changes to stay undetected. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341585 fixed: - FreeBSD port devel/gnomevfs2 >= 2.14.1_2 - GnomeVFS >= 2.15.90 * A bug in GnomeVFS causes intermittent Gmail errors when the delay between mail checks is set to a small value. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455972 * Bugs in GnomeVFS may cause various problems with mailboxes accessed through ssh/sftp. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500307 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500533 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500538
