Category: None >Group: Plugin Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mike Cline (mbcline) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Email Notification!! Initial Comment: I know this feature request doesn't exactly fit the mold of a "search" tool... But actually the reason why I found out about the DQSD was that I was googling around for a deskbar that I could use to display the sender and subject of incoming emails. I work at a company where there are always emails going around to the whole group, and only a minority of the emails I recieve actually need immediate attention. Still, when my taskbar 'new email' notification shows up, I cannot help myself from stopping what I'm doing and checking what the new mail is. If I could see the sender and subject in my task bar, that would save me a lot of time, swapping from window to window and losing my train of thought. I realize that this would require quite a bit of extra code in terms of all of communications with the mail server, etc. Maybe one simpler alternative would be just to have some kind of simple general purpose interface to DQSD for posting messages of all kinds to it. Then the user could configure their email client to call this interface whenever a new mail is recieved (most email clients have the capability of calling an external application upon recieving new emails) Perhaps this is already possible within the framework of the DQSD and I just haven't realized it. If so, please send me a brief message to let me know how this could be done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=432069&aid=753420&group_id=42081 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
