Perhaps, this needs some clarification.

I used to use addons in Firefox and Seamonkey to check for mail
periodically. From time to time, something I have updated in this LFS
system breaks the interaction with some software for notification
(probably notify-send), so the notifications stop to be recorded at the
panel. Sometimes, this affects Thunderbird, too. Since version 21, or
20, cannot really remember, without other related updates, this happened
again after FF was updated. Today, I checked, it is also affecting SM.
But some notifications from TB appear at the panel.

Today, I found that peace of code and created a bash script that does
what I want, only for gmail, using notify-send, aplay, running from a
small x-term that I keep open, and independent of any other browser or
mail program. For gmail, I do not need to bother anymore.

But the mail account I use for BLFS and LFS are at yahoo.

With all these explanations, I hope that it is correct to not consider
this an off-topic question.

Thanks, again.
