It's not necessary to have interaction directly: there is no "new" mail concept at Gmail accounts, they have only "read" or "unread", hence your dovecot only gets "unread" mail which never triggers the notifier. The notifier doesn't keep the list of seen mails, just relies on standard server tags which unfortunately Gmail seems not to find useful to set. IIRC there's at least one notifier which allow including unread mails to be notified, you can try it and see what happens. regards, -- Ricardo Mones ~ The world will end in 5 minutes. Please log out.
