Requirements

• python2 (python3 won't work!)
• pygobject
• gir-notify (>= 0.7.6)
• gir-gstreamer
• gir-glib-2.0
• gir-gnomekeyring-1.0
• python-httplib2
• python-dbus

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!)
