Limit notifications to new ones since last update

Question

Limit notifications to new ones since last update

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 2 comments

Hi,

I really like the idea, as it mixes extremely well with nativefier to finally create a usable mail client for Linux. The only thing that is bothering me is, that I have some 2000 or so really old unread messages, that I do not need to see. I think it would make more sense to limit the notifications to new ones only, and, if that is not possible, show only notifications not older than one hour or so.

cheers,
Holger

How about an option for max number of notifications at startup?

even better!

Any maybe allow an option to disable the overall message counter, or the single message notifications. I can't really see how having both gives me more necessary info, but having either can be interesting depending on your workflow. some might prefer an overiew, others just single messages. You could just make checkboxes, like you did for the "no new messages" option.

cheers
