looking for a Linux email client that can display tray/popup notification (best: via libnotify's popup or dbus event) when a certain IMAP folder (not the whole inbox) gets a message. HTTP/SOCKS proxy support is wanted badly.

http://superuser.com/questions/5951/email-notification-tray-icon-for-specific-imap-folders provided a good idea of mail-notification, it works correctly [with only one label per mailbox] and with http proxy (set via gconf-editor).

there is also a support for lots of external clients:

[ebuild R ] mail-client/mail-notification-5.4-r4 USE="gmail ipv6 maildir mbox ssl -debug -evo -imap -mh -mozilla -pop -sasl -sylpheed" 0 kB

But want this functionality inside a client, without a fear of this program reading all labels in a configured client (time waste). And without this program set up to just getting gmail notifications and having client set up to read. (launch when message arrives).

You can add Gmail as "IMAP" in mail-notification and just set a folder name to check. It will go straight to that folder/label without reading anything else.

Second, there is no "whole INBOX" in IMAP. INBOX is a folder like any other.

but it is a whole, single "unwanted for popups" folder in Sylpheed. – kagali-san Oct 10 '10 at 15:04

Now I run both mail-notifications and Sylpheed. Would script latest. Not answered.
