[Question] Some kind of new mail notification cross-platform #422

Closed 0xacdc closed 2 years ago

0xacdc commented 3 years ago

What I mean: Right now, on macOS I see a Notification like "Protonmail[x] has received a new mail" for every new mail.

vladimiry commented 3 years ago

If there will be a title for every added account, it will be more readable like "Shopping account has new mails"

The app by design shows only the account index in the desktop notification (privacy matter). But you can set any "Login alias" value in the "Advanced options" block located on the account edit form and this value then will be displayed instead of the index.

If this app will have an option to specify for example a shell script, and execute it with the message from first option as argument, there will appear a possibility to send this arguments where you want, to other email or chat.

Noted.

I'd also like the ability to opt-out of the privacy-preserving "hiding" behaviour — many apps offer a toggle-setting for that (at least on iOS; I can't speak as much for desktop-macOS apps!)

opt-out of the privacy-preserving "hiding" behaviour

set any "Login alias" value...

ELLIOTTCABLE commented 3 years ago

That doesn't seem to opt-out of the hiding behaviour? That just changes the title above the still-hidden message.

vladimiry commented 3 years ago

Correct. It only changes the title. Showing the message content is "wontfix" for now.

What about having an option to include the email sender and subject? I run ElectronMail on my computers only, therefore I don’t want to open ElecronMail to check from whom I got a new email. If I do something where a new email notification might be disturbing (e.g. recording/sharing the screen), I’ll simpl turn on the Do Not Dirtub.

Update: Actually, this was already requested in #387. I think that these two issues overlap so much that they could be considered duplicates.

Closing as duplicate of #387.
