Bug Description
Binary package hint: desktop-webmail
It would be nice if webmail service would be fully integrated in the desktop, including integration with the message indicator applet, in a way similar to evolution.
To post a comment you must log in.
So first, could you explain to me what features evolution shps in the message indicator?
e.g. what entries does evolution show in the message indicator? things like setup mail and just having a button there that opens the mailapp would be relatively easy. Having the live unread messages in there, probably requires more work for each of the providers and wouldnt work without having codable plugins shipped with each mailer.
However, I am not sure all webmailers even provide an rpc api or something to query for unread mails. So we might end up with a fragmented featureset, with some webmail providers only having basic support while others have message preview, and unread message count info etc.
if you want drop reference/api manual URLs here for webmail provider that have that ;) ... might come handy if someone (or me) wants to pick up this bug at some point.
