Well, my approach was very simple : mail notification in terminal has worked for decades, I used in the 2000s, so why not use it again if it suits me ? It is not mandatory to "reinvent the wheel" for an old need.
Anyway, I already tried to use /var/mail/$USER in my graphical email client (Thunderbird) : trust me it's very buggy. (Mail is only checked at start, sometimes "read-only", sometimes it becomes duplicated) But I will gladly examine any other graphical solution, provided it's (almost) as lightweight as the terminal one :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872053 Title: Local mail is never checked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1872053/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
