Dock notification on new msgs

Hi.
I am new to Mail (been using Entourage), and one thing keeps annoying me so much that i am thinking of switching back - that is, when i create a custom folder and attach a rule to it (for instance, i want messages from my GF to drop in this very folder and not inbox), there is no "red label" notification on Mail's dock icon when i receive such messages. Seems very strange to me, as these messages are not junk or something i specifically told the program i don't want to know about.
Haven't found any specific setting concerning this, is there probably some workaround? i like mail as it is mac-native, but this problem is really annoying.
thanks

By design, Mail only shows the unread message count of the Inbox in the Dock badge. But you can add a third party utility that changes this. See Hawk Wings - Plug-ins for Apple Mail, "Notification category for a selection of them.
I prefer a different method of notification that is more flexible & supports multiple apps: Growl!

  • [SOLVED] XFCE Thunderbird Dock Notifications

    I am running XFCE on my Aspire One Netbook (532h). I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client and it works great apart from a small issue. There is no dock notification in my desktop for notification of new email. I do get a green-white envelope on my Windows Thunderbird system but I don't really understand what is the difference since they both have the same exact extensions and plugins (MinimisetoTrayRevived). I read about libnotify and other things but since XFCE has its own xfce4-notifyd, I think it may be redundant to install both or am I thinking in a completely wrong direction?
    Thanks!
    Edit : I read some more about this and the green envelope in Windows is not a Thunderbird notification but a Windows notification that Thunderbird uses. Still, is there any way to replicate this in Linux?

    I downloaded the Mailbox Alert but that is for floating notifications by default isn't it? Any idea what the command would be to obtain a dock notification?

  • HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

    Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
    You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .

    What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

  • Still Receive Multiple E-Mail Notifications of New Posts When Subscribed

    In days past, a user would only receive one e-mail notification of new posts to a thread to which he/she was subscribed. You would have to visit said thread before you would receive new e-mails. Sometime during the last big change in the structure of the forums, this way of e-mailing notifications changed. Now I am bombarded with a new notification each time a new post is made to a subscribed thread. I may have ten or more new e-mails just notifying me of new posts to a single thread before I even get a chance to make a return visit. The old way was much, much neater. Any chance of a return to that?
    Regards,
    Steve M.

    I experience it even worse.
    I receive Notifications and Digests for threads that weren't changed.
    I mean to say that
    -I post an answer to some topic.
    -Automattically I am subscribed to that Thread (that's OK, I asked for that in my settings)
    -I receive lot's of Notifications and Digest ALTHOUGH NOBODY ADDED A NEW POST TO THE THREAD. It seems as if the Notification also reacts any time anybody is READING the thread.
    It seems obvious to me that I only want to receive Notifications (and Digests) of Threads that are altered in some way since the last time I read the thread OR received a Notification or Digest.
    That is:
    - new post added to the thread
    - a post has been altered by one of the posters
    - a Solved or Helpfull mark is given.
    Hope Apple can fix this.
    thanks

  • How to Obtain Notifications of New Flash Releases

    Hello:
    Sorry if this has already been posted [I looked in the FAQ and "Read This First" sections] or if this isn't the right place to post [I couldn't figure out how to submit this to Adobe support] this type of inquiry, but I would like to know how I can receive notifications of upcoming Flash releases.
    I have recently signed-up to be able to distribute Flash [not sure if Adobe sends new release notifications with this service], have subscribed to the security alerts notifications [that may not always provide notification of new releases] and signed up to receive Adobe update notifications when I created my Adobe profile, so I could submit this post [I'm hoping the later will provide the new release notification stream I'm looking for].
    If none of the options [above] will provide me with new release information or there is a better "stream" for these types of notification [e.g. RSS feeds] and some one could let me know what that is, I would greatly appreacite it.
    Thanks,
    Robert Lindholm

    eidnolb:
    Thank you for taking the time to respond to this post; it's sounds like I should [hopefully] be receiving update notifications through one of these streams.
    Essentially, I wantr to know when a Flash update is available, so I can proactively update client computers I manage, since the end users don't have the abilityu to approve [install] the updates themselves.
    While supressing the update would hide the udpate from end users, I would like to be able to apply the update ASAP for security and usability reasons.
    Thank you again for your reply, I appreciate it.

  • When someone modify the coding in the notification, a new notification with the same task is created (QM02)

    Hi,
    When someone modify the coding in the notification, a new notification with the same task is created (QM02).
    How to stop this duplicate notification?
    Regards,
    Shiva

    Hello Shivasharanappa,
    This is due to your Inspection type configuration. I guess "One Q-Notification per Insp. Lot" Indicator is not set for the inspection type you are using.
    Go to QCC0>Quality inspection>Inspection Lot Creation>Maintain Inspection Types>Select Inspection type
    Here, Set indicator for "One Q-Notification per Insp. Lot". If this indicator is set system will combine all newly added defects into previously created notification.
    Amol.

  • How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe??

    How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe (adobe reader, flash player, etc.)
    Is there way from SCCM2012 or group policy or any easy way?????
    Please help me

    If you mean the built-in functionality of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash, it's different mechanism for both.
    For the reader, check this guide for example:
    http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/bid/84409/Adobe-Customization-Wizard-XI-Tutorial
    For flash, check this guide for example:
    http://jthys.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/disable-automatic-updates-for-adobe-flash-shockwave-player-reader/
    After you've studied the above guides, you need to implement those to be used with ConfigMgr application deployment so that when you deploy Reader/Flash, you get the result you want = no automatic update functionality.

  • Mailo Notifications For New Mail In Subfolders

    We are rolling out Office 365 Microsofts new cloud solution for Exchange and have been running iPhones, iPads and Windows mobiles. Amazingly good response back from useres on the Apple offers which is great. One issue we have is that some users have rules set up on their Exchange inbox where emails are diverted to certain folders accoring to their content or the sender. The iPhone doesn't seem to provide any notification of new mail in these sub folders. Has anyone come across this or even better have a solution or how to handle this?
    Thanks loads
    Grant

    That's the main problem in that it needs to show the number. It seems a bit daft that Apple would include the ability for it to play a sound but not show the total number. A prime example is either if you do not have a sound set or perhaps are in a meeting and have the phone on silent. Also it is tedious to have to expand folders to find the one with the mail. If a user has a number of mailboxes as some of ours do, it is very cumbersome to have to view each account and then subfolders to find the additional mail.
    With the big Microsoft vs Apple battle starting to hot up with Microsoft launching their Office 365 cloud offering for business this really is something that Apple needs to address to make sure that their iPhone/iPads stay in contention with BES and Windows Mobile etc.
    The feedback we have had from Mac users when using a test of the Beta of Microsoft Office 365 with Apple devices (iPhone/iPad) is amazing and even they were happy to admit it made their lives immeasurably easier. Let's just hope Apple rise to the challenge and make these small tweaks to make the devices truly enterprise useable!
    I still think Apple should make a user voting system on this site so that people can register with a set amount of votes and assign how many votes they want to a particular feature. Then the public vote would show Apple what people really want! Or let’s get Apple to organise some business forums in the UK as well as the USA so European businesses can input they thoughts on the products.

  • Notification of new e-mails not happening

    I have suddenly stopped receiving notification of new e-mails, both in the lock screen and when unlocked.  My phone still vibrates though.  I have not changed the settings on my phone and they are still set up to make notifications happen.
    I'm using an iPhone 5 with up to date iOS 7.1.
    Does anyone have the same problem/a solution?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How to activate iTunes "dock notifications" again?

    Hey there,
    I upgraded to MountainLion 2 days ago and today I recognized that the "iTunes dock nofications" are missig...
    These notifications poped up above the iTunes dock image when iTunes moved to the next song.
    To activate this feature in Lion you used the terminal.app:
    defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE
    defaults write com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image -bool TRUE
    killall Dock
    Does anybody know how to activate it in MountainLion or even push the song information to the notification center?
    Thanks a lot!
    Plz: Don't mention Growl as an alternative

    Some freeware called SizzlingKeys works like a dream, even on Mountain Lion.
