Hi.

Does anyone know of a way to add a "new mail" notification icon to the
panel/system tray under CentOS 6?
On CentOS 5, I used the "mail-notification" software package provided by
the Fedora "EPEL" distribution, but this is gone from the version 6
repository, and the one from version 5 won't install just like that due
to dependency issues. Maybe it's possible to resolve those, but I'm
wondering if that's the way to go, or if there is a better alternative
these days.



In the old days we used biff... then xbiff came along... new fangled things!

Something like: http://homepages.shu.ac.uk/~cmsps/freeScripts/xbiff.py

Don't some MUAs come with small panel applets for this?

It isn't so common to receive email locally anymore, most people are using remote mail servers.
