Email notification icon for panel

Question

The standard Indicator Applet 0.4.6 on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't achieve what I am looking for.

Can someone recommend an alternative applet to notify when new emails arrive. It should have the following features:

IMAP support.
Multiple mailboxes.

Bonus features:

Calendar notifications.
Push IMAP support.
Customisable icons & visuals.

Popper

I would suggest popper as a good replacement as it can deal with POP & IMAP and multiple accounts popper is not in the Software Center you need to install it from a .deb package with can be downloded from there launchpad page here

Hope this helps

Note: Popper is not longer developed. The last working version is for 12.04. Later releases are not supported.

You may want to have a look a Popper, a nice and actively developed project by @RalfHersel.

@Woeistg Sadly the development of Popper was discontinued, and it will not work in releases later than 12.04. – Takkat Feb 09 '16 at 18:48
