However, neither show the number of emails currently unread. Is there somethign you all are using?

No, because it makes no sense. At all. Certainly not for me and I think I can show it won' make sense for a lot of other people.

Not sure why it doesn't make sense.

Becuase of priorities.

In KMail, I have 17 active "inbox" folders and a few dozen other "archive" folders. The mail comes in from all five of my domains and is sorted depending on either where it comes from (which domain), who it is from or both.

And all are equally important? Simple aggregation may seem to have a 'democratic' appeal but I don't think it reflects reality.

Yes, all are equally important. At least until I organize them. Look up GTG by David Allen. All emails get sorted and filtered until my inbox is empty.

I like that there's an aggragate number on the system tray.

So why not write something in perl or python? I'm not a programmer but that's the sort of thing that's well within my skills as its pretty small. There's some examples in packages and at kde-looks.org you can start with.

Well, that's why I asked. I don't want to have to write something. I am a programmer (Basic > Pascal > Visual Basic > PHP > Java/C#) and don't have any desire to write. I figure it is kind of like the KDE3 / KDE4 debates. You need to at least have soemthing to satisfy the needs of the users for them to adopt a given software. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
