Configuration
Run mailnag-config to setup Mailnag.
Closing the configuration window will start Mailnag automatically.
Default Mail Client
Clicking a mail notification popup will open the default mail client specified in System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications.
If you're a webmail (e.g. gmail) user and want your account to be launched in a browser, please install a tool like gnome-gmail.
Desktop integration
By default, Mailnag emits libnotify notifications, which work fine on most desktop environments
but are visible for a few seconds only. If you like to have a tighter desktop integration
(e.g. a permanently visible indicator in your top panel) you have to install an appropriate
extension/plugin for your desktop shell. Currently the following desktop shells are supported:
- GNOME-Shell (GNOME-Shell extension)
- Ubuntu Unity (MessagingMenu plugin) (TBD, help is very appreciated!)
