macvrhi all... anyone here using the evolution mail client?18:34
smerpmacvr: Yes18:35
macvrsmerp: how does the new mail notification display? 18:35
smerpmacvr: Well, I get a translucent window from notify-osd in the upper right, and the Indicator Applet lights up (if you're using it)18:36
macvrsmerp: i meant text> does the mail subject show in bold ? or is only the X new mail in bold?18:37
smerpMine just comes up with "1 New Message"18:38
smerpor "4 new messages"... subjects don't seem to pop up at all18:38
macvrsmerp: thats not very useful is it!18:39
smerpmacvr: no, I don't suppose it is ... not sure who should fix it, though18:39
smerpI suppose the notify-osd support is plugged in somehow18:39
smerpI wouldn't mind it working like the Gmail Notifier on my Mac -- a notification for each new unread message with a Subject, author, and snippet of the body.18:40
macvrsmerp: the changes have to be done in notify-osd to allow multi-line bold display... thanx for the reply18:40
smerpmacvr: ah, I see18:40
smerpok, np18:40
SiDismerp: honnestly, depends on the amount of mails / day :) i'd be crazy if it displayed each mail18:40
smerpSiDi: hah, true18:41
macvrSiDi: there should be a cut off limit18:41
SiDii dont think there should be notifications at all actually :)18:41
macvrSiDi: check out the thunderbird addon. it displays the subject , sender .18:42
SiDinow that we have a sexy notification server, the best we can do is avoid to waste it and use the as sexy indicator applet for the role of messages18:42
smerphttp://teddziuba.com/2009/04/disable-the-annoying-thing-in.html <- :D18:42
macvrSiDi: i dont want to check the mails everytime it arrives ! but just check when i recieve important mails18:42
smerpSiDi: oh, agreed18:42
smerpindicator-applet is much better for this18:43
SiDiyeh, i think the default pidgin behaviour is too aggressive :/18:46
* macvr thinks ideally a setup where the notification displays only for the contacts i have marked as important or for folders marked important would be nice 18:46
SiDilooks like MSN's damn "Foo logged in, and i tell you with a notification even if you didnt talk to him for 2 years"18:46
SiDithe problem is being able to setup important contacts18:46
smerpSiDi: not only that, but the patches for libindicate for pidgin indicate for "user logged in", which shouldn't trigger the indicator-applet, IMHO18:47
macvrbut folders should be easy18:47
macvrSiDi: how about ignore lists?18:49
macvrsmerp: cant the notifications in evolution be switched off? thunderbird has a display notification option... any equivalent in evolution?19:02
smerpmacvr: perhaps -- somewhere buried in the prefs19:09
* smerp likes them just fine, so I leave them on19:09
smerpunlike ted, who wants to be left the hell alone, evidently19:09
macvr^haha! whats his prob though19:11
smerpmacvr: ted dzuiba is always cranky :D19:40
smerpbut fun to read, if you like that sort of snark19:40
macvrsmerp: http://teddziuba.com/2009/04/my-triumphant-return-to-el-reg.html < yup... kinda looks cranky :P19:42
