Hi Erich,
it seems i wasn't clear enough.
What i was proposing:
1) Ask the admin at postinst if he wants to globally autostart
mail-notification (/etc/xdg/autostart)
2) Ask upstream to add an option in mn-preferences to autostart on a
per user basis (~/.config/autostart)
It would no longer autostart for everyone, by default.
That's what i meant.

No, that doesn't really help much. Thats as good as saying "if you don't
want mail-notification to be automatially started, don't install it"...
I use mail-notification, but other users on my system don't. I'd like it
to autostart, the others don't; still the "easiest" way is to go through
the Sessions menu of Gnome, thats really hidden.
There should be an easy UI option in mail-notification (not at a
completely different place) to enable or disable autostart. Preferrably
enable it...
IMHO mail-notification shouldn't auto-start by default, because it will
"welcome" to user with a quite complicated dialog. On each login.
Instead, it should only auto-start when the user has configured it and
toggled a checkbox "automatically start at login" there.
best regards,
Erich Schubert
