Popper Email Notifier not showing up in Messages Indicator

Asked by Xahrepap

Using Maverick 64bit

I downloaded Popper Email Notifie. Installed it from the v023 deb.
https://launchpad.net/popper

I configured it, and the TEST tab shows I configured everything properly. I can't get Popper to appear in the notification menu. I have restarted gnome-pannel, restarted my computer, reinstalled the app, and run a test script that adds a test in the Indicator to show that my Indicator Applet is still letting me add items to the panel. No luck. I checked the /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ folder, and there's only the defaults there.

Anyone know how to fix this? Even if someone knows what file I can drop into that folder to make it work that'd be great.

Thanks for the help! I look forward to using Email Popper.

Yes, this is a known bug which I don't know how to solve. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/popper/+bug/648930 for more details. Try to remove all folder entries in Popper Configurator. Sorry

That worked. Just don't get to have other folders now :( Oh well. Popper is still really nice to have. Thanks for the help.

Ok, you may test a little bit with different folder settings for your IMAP account. I did it for my Gmail test account and couldn't find any problems. Maybe it works with other folder entries. This would help us to find a pattern for this problem. Thanks, Ralf

It actually just might be spaces.
Before I was doing this:
"INBOX, OTHERFOLDER, SOMEFOLDER"
I just tried the same thing but without spaces and it worked.
"INBOX,OTHERFOLDER,SOMEFOLDER"

I'll keep playing around and let you know if I find anything different

I've had the same problem.
Reinstalled popper 0.24 and configure it, and start to work!
