Yeah - those were among my fears of this approach. However, I still guess catching email 'as it comes into evolution' ought to be the right direction. A question about Imap (and other storage type) accounts: when a new mail appears on the server in a non-Inbox folder, how does Evolution detect its presence without either the user 'visiting' that folder (forcing Evo to do a quick re-sync) or the storage-server (e.g. the Imap server) 'pushing' the info to the client? More specifically, where in the code might I see this? Another completely alternative approach would, I guess, be to look at the various 'stand-alone' notification programmes that are out there (e.g. www.nongnu.org/mailnotify) Perhaps a case could be made for moving the 'notification functionality' out of evolution client completely and into a standalone sub-programme? Just more thoughts in search of a solution ...
