Description Ryan Saunders 2007-01-21 03:39:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

On Windows, I like having the GMail notifier in my taskbar, to tell me when I get a new message. Kopete does this to a limited extent for my Yahoo inbox, but has room for improvement. It would be nice to incorporate all the functionality of a system-tray mail checker program into Kopete...Kopete is so close to completely replacing these things. Some specific wish items:
  * Support checking GMail (I can use GMail chat via the Jabber plugin, but this doesn't seem to support mail checking)
  * Support IMAP & POP mailboxes (perhaps auto-import configured servers from KMail, and launch KMail as the "open Inbox" command for those accounts?)
  * Have a multi-account "check email now" button that causes all configured accounts that support email to poll for messages and pop up a multi-account summary of which accounts have unread mail.
  * In the contact list window's "tray" when I mouse-over a protocol icon, show the number of unread messages for that account in the tooltip that appears.

I am also interested in this wish.
Please see to it to implement in 4.x

I like Kopete, but don't want to use a separate application for gmail notifications, so I stay with Pidgin for now.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
