This will be very useful for mailing lists messages which can be seen when time permits. Otherwise, each new-mail notification causes a person to think that some important mail has arrived (esp. at work) when in fact it is just a mailing list.
I've written code to patch KMail 1.5/KDE 3.1 to allow this --- right now it is hard coded to the trash folder (i.e., only the trash folder suppresses new mail notification) but if someone wants to write the UI code to add this as a flag to the folders, the rest of my code is general. I.e., it just asks the folder whether it suppresses new mail notification and if so it skips it when computing whether or not to do the new mail notification. If anyone is interested in my code I will provide it to them.
As noted above I ported this to KMail 1.5/KDE 3.1 (Red Hat 9) and if someone wants the binary for RH9 I'd be happy to email it to them. I've also ported the source to KMail HEAD, hopefully they will integrate this into KMail.
I agree with comment #4. Right now the notification feature is _totally_ useless to me (I'm on many mailing lists). It would be nice (by which i mean actually useful) if I could use it for messages I've filtered as important. I understand if 3.2 has more important features that need adding.
Works for me (since years). Each filter rule can play a different sound. Just select "Filter actions" ->"run command" ->"artsplay <filename> &" or "artsdsp mpg321 <filename> &".
Comment 4 thru 7 deal with the "non-intrusive" mail notification feature of KMail. While it is certainly possible to add a filter that plays a different sound, I may want or need sounds turned off (eg. late at night) or not have a speaker to play the sounds on (eg at work)
Hi --- Right now I'm pretty swamped with other work and I haven't had time to incorporate the comments that Ingo made on my original patch for this bug. I do hope this feature gets added to KMail --- Ingo, are you planning to do this? I will try to get to this soon, but I hope some other developers will take my old patch and run with it at some point.
Replaced kkoch@kxsu.de with joerg@sharky-x.de due to bounces by reporter
It has been added to kmail-cvs... Shouldn't this bug be closed?
folder ->right mouse button -> properties ->"ignore new mail in this folder"
