E-Mail Notification in System Tray

Hey,
I use xmonad with xmobar and trayer as my desktop environment - mostly working with terminals and CLI apps.
For E-Mails I use mutt with offlineimap, run every 20min from a cronjob.
Now what is a good solution to get a notification icon into my system tray when there's new mail?
I read something about biff, others suggest using conky.
I don't really know how to do it. Please point me to the right way...
Something clean and simple.

What exactly do you want to know? I mean, you can look at the man page (also on bitbucket) or the source. Basically it decorates some of offlineimap's classes (injects some code) so that offlineimap will call a notification function (provided by offlineimap-notify) when an account finishes syncing. Then it runs offlineimap (it's just a wrapper).

  • NB200 - Notifications in system tray area

    Every few seconds I get an annoying pop-up notification in the system tray area that informs me of 'Blocked Events' These are all IPv4 TCP or UDP events. I'd really like to turn off these notifications but despite extensive internet searching I can't find out how to do this. I've tried the Action Centre and tried the obvious Firewall settings but nothing will stop them. I find them intensely annoying.
    I have a NB200-12W running Windows 7 Home Prmium (a recent upgrade from Windows 7 Starter Edition). - the issue occurs under both versions. initially I used the installed McAfee security suite but uninstalled that and I'm using F-secure 2009 Internet Security suite for which I have a currently valid license.
    The system is wirelessly connected to my BT Home hub router and is connected via the HomeGroup to two PCs. The other two computers are connected via ethernet cables to the router and both run on Windows 7 Home Premium with Avira internet security. I don't get the pop-ups on these machines.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    What program is generating the alerts - are you sure its f-secure or could it be the widows firewall or mcafee? I don't know anything about f-secure (other than I couldn't find a 2009 manual on their web site) but I would suggest that it will keep a log of events and that when you get close to the "option" that displays (and I would expect clears) it you will also find an option about displaying the event.
    Re my comment about what program is generating it - are you happy that you have removed all traces of mcafee? Have you run msconfig and looked at the services and startup tabs for any trace? Also look in task manager for any traces : in the services tab click on description to sort and look for mcafee starting the description similar in the processes but I think you would only ever have had 1 mcafee entry.
    I think this should have been the first para. Have you created/amended any firewall rules? The log file should give the ip address of the source event and is that in the range of ip addresses of your home network? and since you are bt internet customer do you have a bt vision pvr and is that the source?

  • Gnome 3: Move Insync Notification to System Tray

    In Gnome, the Insync indicator appears in the notifaction bar. It not only looks very out of place in the notification bar, it is difficult to use there. Is there a way for me to move it to the system tray?

    If all you need is to make the frame not visible in the taskbar as well than why don't you activate the hide() method? cature the minimize event and activate the frame.hide(); method. And in the system tray make the frame visible by frame.show();

  • Move Java Frame into Windows taskbar notification area (system tray)?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone has written a service-like application in Java running (and appearing) in the Windows "taskbar notification area", instead of running in the convential Windows taskbar.
    I'm able to add an icon to the taskbar notification area (frequently errorneous called as the 'system tray') by using some native code that uses win32 Shell_NotifyIcon(.. , ..). However, I'm not able to 'couple' the window (i.e. the Java frame) to the new icon in the taskbar.
    My icon is shown in the area AND the frame is shown as an application in the taskbar... I would like to 'remove' my Java application from the taskbar and place it 'as an icon' in the taskbar notification area.
    Has anyone had experience with a similar problem?
    Many thanks!
    Jasper

  • How Do I Remove Photo Downloader Icon from the notification area (system tray)

    Yes, this should be simple, but I'm baffled. Can the icon be permanently removed, or at least when when the Album Starter is not in use... other than clicking on "exit" which only brings it back when the computer is restarted without removing the program?

    From ; Terence ONeill - UK
    KILLING ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER AND TRAY ICON.
    Easy ! I use Comodo Pro Firewall.
    1) Click on DEFENSE box.
    2) Click on "View Active Process List"
    3) Look down the list of processes. Find APDPROXY.EXE.
    4) Click it, then click "Terminate and Quarantine"
    5) ALL DONE ! No more icon in tray and the program is killed.
    APDPROXY - This is lurking about, you can find it on SEARCH from the START button. BUT, you cannot delete it or move it and MSCONFIG does not work. You can disable it as many times as you like - it will keep coming back.
    SOLUTION ! Download CCleaner, it is a great little program and free.
    Using this you can click on TOOLS, then STARTUP. A list of programs are shown which are enabled at STARTUP. Disabling does not work, just click on APDPROXY and click DELETE. It`s GONE !
    All over in a flash - no more ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER.

  • Hide system tray notification after login via RD web access

    Hi,
    I have a question. Is there a way to set that the notification in system tray won't appear after login into RD web access? And related question. I recently rename server and in this notification still shows old one. "Your computer is connect to: {old
    server name}" Is there way to change to at least the correct name of the server? I tried searching in registry but without luck. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    What’s your server OS Version? There is one KB related to the issue which you are facing. 
    The issue might occurs when there are multiple unexpired cookies on the client computer. To work around this issue you can use “Let me Fix by myself” from below article.

  • Issues in Swedish mail notification subject line

    Hi team,
    I have created one concurrent program which run on daily basis to send notification about employee contract expiration to their manager before 30 days.
    I should send mail into swedish language. I am facing one issue into this.
    I have compiled program correctly with Swedish as machine langage and i am able to see appropriate mail format in my package body.
    But i receive mail notification, the mail body is in swedish language but mail subject removed the swedish characters.
    Please check below details:
    Apps : 12.1.3
    Database : 11g
    Responsiblity Name: HR Professional
    Swedish Subject line in Code : HRMS System Varning: Anställningskontrakt löper ut om 28 dagar
    Swedish Subject line in mail notification : HRMS System Varning: Anstallningskontrakt loper ut om 28 dagar
    Sweidish Mail body in code : Observera att gällande anställningskontrakt för löper ut den
    Swedish Subject in mail notification : Observera att gällande anställningskontrakt för löper ut den
    I tried following approch:
    1. I passed direct subject line to P_Subject parameter.
    2. I assigned subject line to l_subject and then passed value l_subject to P_subject .
    in both cases, i am getting wrong output. Kindly check and let me know if anything is required from my side.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Basaw

    Hi Friend,
    Thanks for quick reply.
    It is not showing any garbage value or squares anything.
    It is just removing swedish characters. Please check below:
    Sweidish Mail body in code : HRMS System Varning: Anställningskontrakt löper ut om 28 dagar
    Swedish Subject in mail notification : HRMS System Varning: Anstallningskontrakt loper ut om 28 dagar
    If you see closely, in word Anställningskontrak and löpe, it is removied a and o which are special values in swedish characters.

  • Looking for just the Win8 BC control panel and System Tray software. Possible to extract from BC 5?

    Installing the entire BC 5 software gave problems on my MacMini 2011/ WIn8 64bit installation. The Magic Mouse and Apple's BT keyboard would stutter. I was able to get everything working fine by just installing the blutooth drivers from the BC5 package, obtaining the HD3000 drivers directly from Intel, and left all other drivers as the 'native' Win8 drivers.
    What I woudl like to install as well, however, are the:
    Boot Camp control panel for Microsoft Windows
    Boot Camp System Task Notification item (System Tray)
    I did not see these tools/packages listed on the USB Flash Disk with the Boot Camp Support Software (v5.0.5033).
    Anyone any idea where I can find (or extract) this?

    I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
    I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
    Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

  • AIR System Tray Icon - does it support notifications?

  • [SOLVED] IceWM: "notification area" / taskbar / system tray

    Hello!
    I've recently moved from Gnome to IceWM. It all works nicely but there's a problem. In Gnome (and KDE and fluxbox and pypanel and ...) there was a "notification area" / taskbar / system tray where you could see "minimized to tray" programs, such as: Wicd, Deluge, Transmission, Emesene, etc... But in IceWM that doesn't exist. Well this is a pain in the *ss. I mean, I open deluge, minimize it and now I can't open its main window again.
    Can some IceWM user help me?
    Thanks, acmps

    It should be all there in a default IceWM setup, esp. does IceWM hava a built-in system tray.
    Mostly it depends on how you start IceWM. You need to execute icewm-session in your ~/.xinitrc, as e.g.
    exec icewm-session
    Or if you want to start IceWM manually, use
    xinit /usr/bin/icewm-session
    There should be a ~/.icewm folder. If not, create one and copy /usr/share/icewm/{keys,menu,preferences,toolbar,winoptions} there. These are well commented setup files which you can change to your needs with any text editor.
    Thanks! I was used to start IceWM with "exec icewm" in xinitrc, but it seems like it's icewm-session. About the .icewm folder, I already have it. I'm going to try and start IceWM with icewm-session right away.
    EDIT: It seems like I don't need to start icewm-session to get the tray, just icewm and icewmtray. Thanks!

  • System tray notification

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to generate an alert which appears above the system tray icon, similar to how MSN messenger or Gmail Notifier alerts the user of new emails (a small popup appears for a few seconds, then vanishes)?
    If so, please give me some link or source code ....
    My jre version is 1.4.2._06
    Thank you

  • [Update: Version 0.0.2 now available]Noteo - system tray notifications

    After being frustrated with the lack of non-gnome-dependant system tray 'widgets' for things like email and battery monitoring, I decided to have a bash at creating my own, initially only to notify me of system updates, but I realised that I could use the same place to display other things.
    Main changes: plugins can now be installed system wide as well as locally, meaning modules can be packaged in the AUR.
    Configuration files are now in ~/.config/noteo/ which is much tidier.
    Coming soon:
    Module which replaces notification daemon - I just need to tidy up the code and package it.
    Update: 0.0.2 now available
    Version 0.0.2 is in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15952
    some plugins are also in the AUR:
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16032
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16033
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16034
    or can be downloaded from sourceforge
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … _id=268802
    As you can see in the status bar, when a 'module' want to tell you something, it flashes an icon in the system tray. If there is only one module wanting your attention, it flashes for about 10 seconds, then just displays that icon.
    When there is more than one module wanting your attention, it switches to a generic icon. Hovering over the icon will describe which modules are attempting to notify you
    If there is only one module active, clicking on the icon will bring up that module's dialog, if there is more than one module active, you will be shown which modules are wanting your attention.
    You can also usually bring up the module's dialog by right clicking on the icon and choosing the appropriate menu option:
    New feature: module authors can add icons to the right click menu
    Noteo by itself has almost no functionality - it acts as a framework into which modules can 'plug-in'. 'Modules' are simple to make, and I hope that some of you will write some/improve mine.
    To configure the modules, edit the module configuration files which will be generated on first run and placed in ~/.config/noteo/
    Hope this is of some use to someone.
    For those wanting to make new 'modules', maybe take a look at the source to the GmailCheck module, which is hopefully quite self-explanatory.

    New alerts do not appear on the screen. The 'windows' in the screenshot are what appears when you click on the icon and a module wants your attention. New alerts cause the icon in the tray to change to whatever that module specifies e.g. on low battery, the 'BatteryStatus' module shows your icon theme's battery-critical icon (flashing initially and then becoming static - if there is more that one module wanting your attention, a generic icon is then shown)
    Edit: actually the battery module does display a dialog box when the battery is critical, asking the user whether they want to hibernate or not, however this can be turned off. Noteo itself does not display dialogs, the modules can if they so desire. In future releases I do plan to implement something like libnotify notifications which the user can choose to activate. Also I am coding a module for noteo which can replace notification daemon.
