Re: [Ayatana] MI idea suggestion

[Praveen Thirukonda <tgpraveen89@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is a branch in telepathy where email support is somewhat worked on though it's kinda abandoned atm.

Yes telepathy is meant for real time communication and hence in real time u will get notifications for your emails. ie the capabilities will be limited. this is NOT a replacement for your email client.

The capabilities might be something like how pidgin gives mail notifications. 

maybe something like that we can do in telepathy with notify-osd and mi integration so that we support many more protocols.

The way this works is that for new mails the google/yahoo server sends the new email msg to us, just like it sends it to it's own messenger on windows

I am no telepathy expert, but AFAIK the telepathy "tubes" that they
recently built afford pretty much anything we can thing of. Abiword has
a telepathy tube for collaborating on documents (at least the Sugar
version on the OLPC), and there are all kinds of crazy ideas.
