Description Txutxifel 2016-10-11 15:42:14 UTC

Hi,
I only receive a pop-up notification for 3-5 seconds anytime I have a email. If I am not present in my computer this moment I lost the notification. I would like a permanent place in the systray like a plasmoid where I could watch my incoming emails.

I use gmail feed plasmoid to replace this funcionality

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I receive a email
2.A pop-up appears for 5 second
3. Notification is lost


Expected Results:  
A place (plasmoid, systray) where I can check it without open kmail

it's already the case no ?

> it's already the case no ?

There is still no plasmoid to show current unread email. My workaround is to have a minimized KMail window just so I could see its unread count badge in the Task Manager.

About notifications, even though they were not actually lost, you would still have to click on the expand icon in system tray, then go to notifications to check.
