mail-client/mail-notification-5.0 has been in the tree for ~2 months without reported bugs and it also has better compatibility with the now-stable evolution-2.12 series.
But sometimes, when it detects no network connection, it eats up the CPU. I have to click on "Update" to make things back to normal.
I haven't seen this behavior despite connectivity to one of my mail servers being spotty recently. Have you filed this as a bug somewhere?
No, not yet. But I found this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mail-notification/+bug/182923 If I remember well, older mail-notifications had the same issue.
I forgot to mention. I'm using mail-notification to monitor one IMAP, one Gmail (pop3) and one other POP3 account.
ppc stable
Balazs, you may want to report this also on the upstream bug, so that the mail-notification maintainers have more information to see a pattern. Given that this problem is also present in currently stable versions and seems to affect only few people I think we should still stabilize mail-notification 5.0.
so x86 stable

That looks like a missing dependency on scrollkeeper. I've just fixed that in CVS. Thanks!
you should add a useflag + dependency for net-mail/fetchyahoo and disable support for live hotmail until getlive (http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/) gets added to portage. right now the gui shows support for both yahoo and hotmail by default but neither works.
sparc stable, closing, Ruper please open a new bug
rupert, I agree with Raúl that you should have opened a new bug for this. In any case it's no longer needed now as I've just added yahoo support with mail-notification-5.0-r1. I haven't added a hotmail use flag since getlive isn't in the tree.
