+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1283936 +++ Bug 1106815 will alert always user when new messages arrive. Preference mail.biff.show_alert is now deprecated on OS X. Preference UI should be cleaned up, directing user to set it up on the Notification Center (that is my suggestion). STR ---- 1. Open Preferences from the Seamonkey menu on OS X 2. Open Mail/Notifications 3. User can enable or disable if he wants SeaMonkey to show an alert when a new message arrives. 4. SeaMonkey will always (when related bug lands) show an alert. 5. That will confuse user. Expected -------- No checkbox for enabling or disabling it, maybe directing user to the Notification Center. The Notification Center is not a intuitive place where to look when user has problems about alerts, so it would be great if we suggest that instead of just removing the UI.
