Option to only notify about 'Important' e-mails about mail-notifr HOT 12 CLOSED

I'd like this too, I mostly rely on importan vs not-important mechanism to filter my mails

from mail-notifr.

With the new Gmail mailbox, it would be even better to have an option to only alert about the 'main' tab.

Gmail has a lot of different options now for how to display your email. For me, I love the priority inbox. It would be awesome if this app could support allowing the user to select which types of emails (ie. priority inbox, social, unread, etc). For me, I'd really just love to see the ability to show unread count for priority mail (ie. email marked important).
Until that happens, this app is pretty much useless for me.

It might be possible to fix this in the same way #8 was fixed, simply by polling a different URL than #mailbox/#all. http://mail.google.com/mail/b/[user]/#search/is%3Aunread+and+is%3Aimportant (or http://mail.google.com/mail/u/[user_id]/#search/is%3Aunread+and+is%3Aimportant) will return all important unread mail. This feature could probably be implemented just by allowing an option to switch URLs like that so the app polls the search term instead of #mailbox/#all

For me is fundamental to have a feature that shows unread emails only from Primary category (and not from all the other category-tabs). Otherwise I continuously receive alerts for advertisment emails or useful emails. Also I don't read/open all those ad emails so I get email count of 800 emails!! Many other apps of the same type already shows only Primary emails.

James, is it possibile to do that? It would be a fundamental feature for the paid version.
Hoping in a positive response, please.

After a search I found how can do this using the feed atom URL. It's VERY simple and can works by using a gmail label (e.g. "primaryemails") and a gmail filter that tags the label "primary" for each email in Primary tab (category:primaryemails). Notice that all of this is external from the app. Now I simply use URL:
https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/­primaryemails

James, you just could implement a feature that checks for labels (in the feed atom URL), then everyone can use it as he wants.
Please, let us know. It would be awesome, anyway I need to look at some other app... :(

@dangelion This is awesome. Letting user choose a label or category seems to be a good option now. I'll see how I could implement this.

When I finish this I'll let you know and send you a test build.

Thanks a lot!

Update:

Sorry I didn't read it well. So to make this work, the user needs to set a filter on Gmail?

from mail-notifr.

Hi @ashchan. No, you have not to set any filters on Gmail. It depends from what the user wants to do. The user could set in his Gmail any labels he wants, then your app should simply gives the features of show the labels, using URLs like:
https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/­label_name

Afterwards, if I want to create a label that tags all the emails in the Primary category (with a Gmail filter) is a work that affects only the final users, not you as developer. I hope to have been clear. Let me know... This feature would be so important!

Notice: this is the way as "Checker Plus for Gmail" (probably the most famous app/extension for Gmail notification) works:

@dangelion Supporting label is a good feature, and some one has actually implemented this before but we found some issues (I need to double check this when I have time and see what's the problem).

So it does seem to me there's no way to filter the Primary category without the end user doing anything configuration. This is a sad fact for now.

I will find the label feature which was removed and check the situation. Thanks!

from mail-notifr.

Yes, Gmail doesn't give any chance for implementing categories (Primary, Social, ...) but it does for labels, so with the simple workaround above described the end user can also filter by categories. I linked you the "Checker Plus for Gmail" app because it's one of the best/notorious app and also them using this workaround. So, don't worry! :) You could only implement label feature, that would be great.
If you need a beta tester I'm here.
Let me know
Thanks

Gmail announces API (#34). I'll read their doc then decide if we could use that.

from mail-notifr.

Any news about this feature?
