It has never been easier to test Mailody

If you want to test Mailody 0.4.0rc2 you can now simply use the “klik://mailody” Klik-package.

There are currently 0 open bugs, which is simply not true. Please test Mailody and report bugs. The people who have done it know they will be solved very, very quickly.

There are also Debian Unstable packages available, As there are not a lot of dependencies, they will probably run on every .deb-distro. Get them here.

In other news, we are still struggling with a tooltip problem in Mailody. We want to show more information about a mailbox, we tried a tooltip when hovering over a mailbox, but that was irritating. Then we tried an icon in a second column, but that was to much in-your-face. Now we have a “.” in a column and on click it will popup more info. Very cryptic, but not irritating or very much in-your-face.

If you have a good idea, let us know.

We also have a drawing problem, the first three icons in the standard toolbar are not rounded off at the top properly. So if you can help us solve that, please leave a comment, mail me (toma at mailody.net) or jump in #mailody.

And we really need a usability guru to help us….

    I could be missing something really obvious, but couldn’t you just show mailbox info in the status bar at the bottom of the window?

    How about an ellipsis sign (…) insteaf of one point (.)? It’s less cryptic and it has the meaning of “there is more” that you want.
