mail-indicator, as an improvement of evolution-indicator

 

Hi to all.

A useful improvement to messaging menu should be a mail-indicator, a sort of
XXI century biff. In facts, today you must have Evolution running to have an
alert about incoming e-mail.

Mail indicator should:

a) share account configuration from Evolution (of Thunderbird, if installed)
b) check e-mail in mailboxes every X minutes (configurable?)
c) show sender and part of the mail title as a notification and a message in
messaging indicator
d) if possible: open evolution on the specific message clicked in messaging
menu

It should be more consistent if Mail indicator will be an extension of
current evolution-indicator.

I hope this idea will be useful.

Bye.
