Because I prefer using Thunderbird mail client instead of Evolution mail client, I tried other mail notification instead of default mail notification which only support Evolution mail client. After trying different mail notification, I decide to use gnome gmail notifier(Gmail Notifier). gm-notify can be integrated into gnome indicator applet well, but it doesn't support multi-accounts. Gnome gmail notifier can't be integrated into gnome indicator applet. Although gnome indicator applet support many chat accounts and message accounts which are included in Empathy IM client. But I only use Skype which is not included in Empathy IM client. So I will remove the panel of gnome indicator applet and MeMenu(This is also about status of those chat services.)


sudo apt-get remove evolution-indicator evolution

messaging notifications:

sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages

MeMenu:

sudo apt-get remove indicator-me

refresh the gnome panel:

killall gnome-panel
