Is there an alternative to mail-notification which supports Hotmail?

  • 772

I need a notification applet/daemon for Gnome Shell (on 11.10) that supports both Gmail and Hotmail. I tried mail-notification which is supposed to work with Hotmail, but I get an error and only Gmail works properly; I also tried Mailnag but it does not seem to run at all. Are there any viable alternatives? I know there are some Firefox extensions that can do this but I use a different browser. Thanks for your suggestions!

  1. Probably you were using Evolution and didn't like Thunderbird either. If that was to be the case maybe you might be interested in Popper: https://launchpad.net/~ralf.hersel/+archive/rhersel-ppa . It incorporates very well with your Ubuntu system.

    I haven't tried it myself but those who did said it's very functional.
