[Bug 43760] Re: warning dialogs steal focus

[sven.lug-dorsten]

iam totally on your side! my workflow is often interrupted with this
popups, too

But, warning messages are there to warn you and get noticed. Perhaps its
essential for you to notice that you can receive or send emails at the
moment. Perhaps not.

A dream of a solution would be:
Making it possible to minimize evolution to a icon in the notification area, or a panel-applet. Then you have the possibility to show notification messages instead of popups. Perhaps mail-notification can do this job, and act more like a remote-control for evolution. On my notebook i often have interruptions and changes in the network-connections and dont use the mail-notification because of this.

Using notification-messages would be better than popup warning dialogs,
they dont steal focus. And they stay a while or until you click them as
ack. away.
