Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001120
BuildID:    2000112020

The green arrow appears at the bottom to indicate new emails (which was sent to
me in a previous reply) but no new email sound alert is available. And a taskbar
(flashing) icon like Yahoo IM mail alert with subject message summary or like
the current NSnotify taskbar indicator would be nice and more prominent.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
none

Actual Results:  none

Expected Results:  An audible wave new message alert and flashing arrow/toolbar
message icon should be included.

Presently i copied the nsnotify.exe and nsmailui.dll file from my present
Netscape 4x directory and pasted it in the Mozilla/SeaMonkey directory. I mostly
works (i get an audible wave announcement and how many messages have arrived in
the mailbox) and could be a viable alternative since most Navigator users are
used to this concept.
This is a duplicate, at least as far as sound goes.  If you would like to reopen
this and focus it on the taskbar issue, feel free.

Also, I would suggest you comment on bug 25031 and mention that the ns 4.x DLLs
work with Mozilla...
