With my other emails, I get a number indicating new messages. The imap accounts downloads the messages, but you have to go look in the directory to see they are there.
I also see the number of new messages (attached below)
Why not using the Web Client - firefox with push notifications?
I don't have firefox. I don't see how a web client could do anything without Firefox - and the web client - being running. What use would the push notification be then, and where would they go? Maybe I don't understand your suggestion.
Well, I mean a modern web client (konqueror won't do it), which in Linux context means firefox, chromium or similar.
Don't - Evolution s**ks
OK. I can look for others...
If you find one - let me know - I honestly gave up. I even do not want to know of any new messages in Outlook when I am at home or when the business day is over.
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.
Why does kmail tell you you got new pop mails, but not when you got imap mails?
For me the question is how it is telling you - if you mean the number in the applet icon in the tray - then it could be Mike Bird is correct. As soon as you mark a message as read on the server it is read ... but I am not sure how different clients handle this.
