Kmail family apps - MariusApo - 14th December 2016
well,i do have installed the 2.1 iso of maui,but i really have no idea how to bring back the kmail family apps that ik r installed but not in the menu,how can i bring them back there ? i did tryed to use the menu editor,but i have no idea what to write in there as i am a noob into this,i would love some help with step-by-step
i did tryed to use thunderbird,but i never could make it to notify me of new incoming emails,so i opted for kmail which do that (i couldn't make thunderbird do that in windows either)

For Thunderbird notifications, please install add-on GNotifier. It will enable the OS notifications. You can also test the notifications in the Preferences page of the add-on (at the bottom).

It is the standard KDE notification in the bottom right corner, similar that all other apps show - so not a popup window, just a notification that disappears after a few seconds.

Actually, Thunderbird and Firefox can use the notification system just fine. The problem is that these are GTK applications and would need libnotify and libevent installed.
RE: Kmail family apps - MariusApo - 15th December 2016
so, if i install those 2 depedencies will pop up notifications on new emails?
RE: Kmail family apps - AJSlye - 15th December 2016
It does on my Manjaro LXQT, Arch (Antergos) Enlightenment and Maui 2 installations.
You do need to enable the notification system for Thunderbird by selecting "Show an alert":
