I've got a little problem. At work they recently changed their email system for Office365. I did manage to setup an imap account in kmail, and this account works, BUT:
When I get a message there, I get no notification. While all other accounts get their messages in Inbox, or the relevent directory indicated there is mail, the imap account shows nothing, so if I don't think to look I may miss important messages.
what notification? Do you mean the message is not downloaded automatically? There you have to configure how often to check the mailbox
I had found a workaround by setting up Thunderbird on a raspberry pi. Thunderbird autoconfigures for this account (of course at work they did not give me the informations to connect, as we are supposed to be using MacOS or Windows with application that don't require these) and I forwarded the messages to my regular mail account. However Thunderbird is a nightmare when it comes to changing the password, and the work password must be changed every month... so for the time being Thunderbird no more forwards anything.
Why not using the Web Client - firefox with push notifications?
I'll take a look at Evolution for the pi, but it would actually be easier if I could just get informed that a mail arrived on the imap account.
Don't - Evolution s**ks
Am I missing some setup, or is it normal that imap doesn't give any feedback (I normaly use pop for my accounts).
I've not seen any notifications (used always imap with kmail in kontact), but recently I was looking at kdbusnotification (notification-daemon-tde) and wanted to talk to the "gods" about it. This looks like a good small project to exercise.
