[Bug 1421923] Re: No notifications for new mails

 

Hey Dan,

I didn't know about that rfc yet! Let me dig into it a big more to check
if we can support that. What I can definitely say is that we can add the
message partid to the URI. If that is helpful, this shouldn't be a
problem. ;)

The application for which the notification is being displayed is the one
which the user authorizes the online account for. What I need to check
myself is whether the URI from the notification is then sent directly to
the application or if other apps can "compete" for it as well. If the
former is true, the situation is clear. If the second one is what
happens, then the new UI you mentioned should be used automatically by
the URI dispatcher. To be honest, I'd prefer the first one as in that
case the user could simply give another application access to the
account if they wanted it to receive email notifications.

The reason why I wanted to put the app id in there was to enable
applications to filter for "their" notifications in case they want to
use different email clients for different accounts (e.g. the Gmail app
for a Gmail one and Dekko for their Yahoo account). This would only be
needed in the second case outlined above though.

I'll look into the questions brought up here. Thanks!

Bug description:
  Hi!

  In the BQ E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, I'm not getting notificactions for new
  mails.

  Testing (by example)
  1. Kill Dekko.
  2. Send you an email.
  3. Open Dekko.
  4. Change quickly to another app before Dekko starts.
  5. Bug: No notification
  6. Go to Dekko: You'll see your new mail.

  FYI as improvement, for me, in Dekko is not clear if Dekko checks the
  mail after X minutes or is a push notification.

  Thanks in advance!
