Hello,

I am looking for something like xfce4-mailwatch as a gnome panel applet.
Is there something like that?

Thanks!
Nathan

i have problems with mail-notification only showing yahoo, and hotmail... it does not pull the yahoo email correctly.... regardless i need pop/imap for gmail. i have seen this program compiled under other distributions supporting these, but i still would prefer xfce4-mailwatch ported to gnome. mail-notification opens evolution regardless of gnome knowing that thunderbird is to be the default.

edit sorry for digging up old threads.... moar edits

edit /etc/portage/package.use to include
