but I would like to know when new mail arrives. Mozilla can be configured to play a sound, but sometimes I don't hear it (because my sound is off or I am away from the desk for a second). [Do other people have this problem?]
Some kind of non-fleeting visual notification is probably needed. What would be the best solution? Here are some ideas... - Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express show an icon in the system tray (I think that's the right name for that bit of the taskbar near the clock). This is nice and non-obtrusive.. I'm not sure how well it generalises to non-windows platforms. - Someone has posted an enhancement request asking for an option for a dialog box to pop up when new mail arrives: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113783 - something like xbiff that works with mozilla? Any thoughts on how best to provide notification of mail arrival?
