This is pretty clunky compared to using something like Mail Notification (Gnome) since it requires Gnus to fetch the mail in order for you to know there is mail there I think. Better, for me, is to run a local dovecot server and have Mail Notifications (Biff etc) monitor THAT inbox using dbus or whatever it is they use for instant notification. regards r. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
