Feature Request: Hyperlink to mail website when the popup displays X mails. by sunangel368 on 12-16-2008 at 08:40 AM
Hello,
I'm a frequent email checker, and I have been using Msgplus! Plugin since 5 years ago.
I have 3 email accounts,
Windows Live Mail, GMail,& My Company Mail.
Problem 1#
During the popup which says "you have x mails from xxx@xxx.com's inbox",
The x mails didnt really follow exactly from my gmail. let's say the msgplus! plugin displayed this:"you have 5 mails from xxx@xxx.com's inbox",
and I have 5 mails in my inbox currently, i go to my gmail and viewed the mails, which remains 0 mails in my gmail inbox.
and then later I have one more mail incoming in, i can view it directly from my gmail inbox, but I didnt view the email. I waited for the Msgplus! Email Checker Popup, but it displayed "you have 6 mails from xxx@xxx.com's inbox". Instead of 1 mail, it displayed 6 mails.
Problem 2#
The purpose of setting up my mails in Msgplus! is to ease me in checking emails. So I would hope that - Whenever the Msgplus! email checker popup appears with x mails, I would hope that - when i click on that popup, it would open a default internet browser and directs me to the whatever mail service i'm using.
For instance Gmail, when i click on Msgplus! email checker popup appears with x mails, the link would directly view me www.gmail.com
I would hope there is a box for me to type the website for the email services, eg. www.gmail.com.
I hope this can applied to the patch, it greatly eases everyone on checking emails!
I don't know if this is a Bug or Report, I'm not sure. I'm sorry If I had placed the wrong thread.
Thanks for reading!
Charles

You can enter the website address to launch in the "E-Mail Client" field in the settings window

That was a fast reply!
Oh yeah, It's better if i can access the emails with a Mail button next to the MSgplus icon on the main screen of Messenger, on the top right!

You can archive all read emails as a workaround.

In your case it would require 3 extra buttons, while you can also just click the MP!L logo in your contact list and open the website/application for your email address from there.
