I'll try the repo version to see if it works OK for me, then think about getting a tarball elsewhere if it does. Thanks for warning me about this -- might not have spotted it, and then spent ages trying to fix it when it didn't work!

Mac mail-notification supports gmail separately without going through pop3 or imap. If you want the tarball you can get it from http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/ sudo apt-get build-dep mail-notification This will grab most of the dependencies sudo apt-get install libssl-dev This will grab the necessary files to enable ssl support. then the usual ./configure make followed by sudo make install You have to log out and back in again for it to work otherwise you get an error message.

[ubuntu-uk] new mail notification in system tray?
Apologies if this request about Thunderbird is a bit off-topic, but it should be brief if anyone has a ready answer. I've been googling around for days and can't find one. I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (installed via Ubuntuzilla) on Feisty. Is there add on or applet to provide a persistent indicator in the system tray when there's new mail waiting to be read? This used to be a feature in T/bird 1.5.0.1x and was visible in the system tray even if T/bird was minimised or obscured by another window; but ver 2.x seems only to have a transient pop-up when new mail arrives. So if you're been away from the computer, and want to check if there's any waiting mail, you can't at a glance. Any ideas? TIA Mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Adam Yes, m-n looks just the ticket -- I'll give it a go.
