# claws-mail-multi-notifier(7)

several modules for new mail notification

## NAME

claws-mail-multi-notifier - several modules for new mail notification

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **claws-mail-multi-notifier** package.

This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**claws-mail-multi-notifier** is a plugin (loadable module) for the *Claws Mail* mailer.

Provides various ways to notify the user of new and (possibly) unread email.

The following modules are currently implemented:

- Banner

  A mail ticker.

- Popup

  A popup window on mail arrival.

- Command

  Execute a custom command on mail arrival.

- LCD

  Send a message to a LCDd server on mail arrival.

- SysTrayicon

  A system tray icon, with or without toaster popup.

- Indicator

  An indicator icon.

## USAGE

Before using a plugin you must instruct *Claws Mail* to load it on startup.

For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...”  dialog, click on the “Load plugin...”  button and select the plugin file, named **notification.so**, and press the “Open” button.

## CAVEATS

Some IMAP servers (for example Gmail™) doesn't implement the `"\Recent"` flag on messages (see **NOTES**). Therefore, notifications about new mail will be unreliable on these servers.
