With the original email application on my N810 I get a flashing envelope bottom-left of the screen and the blue LED flashing fast when I get a new email. I can then touch the envelope and see a list of subjects of the new mails, and I can touch one of these to read the mail. Fantastic!

So then I wanted to use Gmail/IMAP and discovered that the default mail app can't cope with Google's broken implementation, so I installed Modest. This also has tight integration with the mail notifier wotsit so I still get the flashing envelope and blue LED, and the list of messages. Still fantastic.

But Modest is prone to crashing.

So then I discovered Claws-mail, and I'm giving that a try. The major downside is that it doesn't appear to integrate at all with the mail notifier wotsit - no flashing envelope, no flashing LED, no list of emails. I know Claws has a System Tray Icon plugin, but that only runs when Claws is running, which I'd rather not do as it chews memory and makes my N810 run slowly when I want to run some other app.

At the moment I've uninstalled Modest and duplicated my account settings in the default email app. That way I get notifications, and I have to remember to fire up Claws to do the reading, not touch on the list.

So the question is - how do I get Claws-mail to work with the email notifier thingy?

Thanks
