Description:

I've added support for KDE notification system to Gx Mail Notify plasmoid (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/GX+Mail+Notify?content=99617).

Problems:

* No configuration available at the moment. I will work on it...

* Only for Imap! Pop3 is a bit more difficult to handle with...I will work on it if I will have time, I promise!

* One popup for message: at the moment, there is no possibility to show long texts into a single popup (popups don't extends and text is truncated).

* Depending on the encoding of the messages, you could have visualiztion problems: I received a mail where the sender name was uncomprehensive because it was encoded in Latin-1...

Hi, I am using 0.5 on KDE 4.5.1 distributed by Debian, but there is no notify when I receive mail. I have already checked "Enable KNotify Support". What should I do after that?

Thank's for the patched version! But can you fix the compilation error on KDE 4.5 in you sources?
The problem and patch is described here:

Hi, I've tried to apply this patch but I've never gotten the result to compile. Since the original plasmoid is GPL, and the author has stated that he has no immediate plans to work on it, would you be willing to release a full patched version of GX Mail?

Users everywhere would be grateful.

Nevermind, that's what you did. Thanks!

I'm an idiot.

I compiled it and restarted plasma, but I'm not getting the notifications.

I double checked that the old plasmoid was uninstalled, and the correct .so is being used.

I'm on Kubuntu Lucid with KDE 4.4.3.

Anything I can check?

Thanks; I recompiled with the new archive. Now I have the option to enable Knotify, which I did.

Unfortunately, I still don't get any notifications. :(
