[FF] How to modify spam without Alert notify

Forums
User Guide

X-notifier 3.3.3 and later

Before go further, let you look at
X-notifier => Options => Accounts => [pick one of your host/account]
you will see either
[  ] Include spam (that is equal to 0 : do not include)
or
[X] Include spam (that is equal to 2 : include to notification)

If you pick either Include spam Alert notify or not,
you do not need to type 'about:config'

Unless you want include spam without Alert notify?
(if, yes please look below how to do it.)

1) Type 'about:config' in the location bar.
2) [Search typing] include
3) Look for extensions.xnotifier.accounts.[HOST#USERNAME].includeSpam : 0 or 2
4) [Double-click] value
5) [Typing] 1
6) [Click] OK
7) Restart Firefox ... "to be safe".

You will see X-notifier => Options => Accounts =>
[pick the same host/account] and see [X] Include spam, but actually marked as 1 in background.

Warning:
If you accident click on [(unmark)] Include spam,
you need go back to about:config to edit again.

All Done!

FYI:
How to decide spam folder notification

  • 0 : do not include
  • 1 : include to folder view only (does not calculate the grand total.)
  • 2 : include to notification (does calculate the grand total.)

 

So you will ENJOY include spam without Alert notify!

Forums
User Guide

X-notifier 3.5.18 and later

IF you want to remove the obsolete enableCategory preference from about:config:

2) Restart Firefox  (this will remove your 'about:config' preference)

****************************************************************************************************

X-notifier 3.3.4 to 3.5.17

Gmail won't work anymore,
Because their Gmail website updated.)

ALL INFORMATION BELOW, NO LONGER WORK!
I left this for history purpose.

Topic refers to:
extensions.xnotifier.accounts.[gmail#USERNAME].enableCategory : (0? 1? 2? see below)

1) Type 'about:config' in the location bar.
2) Look for gmail account with 'enabled' [Right-click] Copy Name
3) [Right-click] New => Integer
4) [Right-click] => [Paste] and replace 'enabled' with 'enableCategory'
5) [Click] OK
6) Enter Integer value ( 0  or  1  or   2   see below)

  • 0 : disable
  • 1 : show in folder view only
  • 2 : get count from all enabled categories (tabs)

7) [Click] OK
8) Restart Firefox and ENJOY your new Gmail Category settings.

IF already setting, but you want to change value...
Just [Double-click] on value and input 0 or 1 or 2 [Click] OK

IF you want to remove it or "Forget it" (undo):
1) [Right-click] Reset
2) Restart Firefox  (this will remove your 'about:config' line)

[FF] How to move X-notifier sidebar to the right side of the browser

Forums
User Guide

If you have BIG monitor, and do not want to use X-notifier window on right side of the monitor.

I, CFBancroft, search all over Add-on, I found this one... "Simple Add-on"

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rightbar/

Finally, I can use X-notifier Sidebar with RightBar Add-on to right side of the browser.

As of Firefox 29.o with RightBar 0.5, it works great.

FOR ADVANCE USER (not using add-on):

Thanks RpD for locate URL for me to post this, that what I am look for it.
http://mozillalinks.org/2007/01/move-the-firefox-sidebar-to-the-right/

Explain with pictures
http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-xp-tips/resize-and-move-the-sidebar-in-…

FYI:
Tobwithu, who wrote program X-notifier, is not responsbile for RightBar Add-on.

[FF] How to add favicon.ico on your POP/IMAP account.

Forums
User Guide

After you type... about:config in the location bar and press Enter

...you can type:  xnotifier   ...to show all the lines for xnotifier accounts
...or you can type: IMAP  ...to show all lines containing the 'word' IMAP

Look your IMAP account for example
extensions.xnotifier.accounts.[imap#user.name @ domain.com|imap.mail.domain.com].inboxOnly
[Right-click] Copy Name
[Right-click] New -> String
[Paste and backward delete] inboxOnly
[Type] icon
[Click] OK

Next pop up menu look alike this

extensions.xnotifier.accounts.[imap#user.name @ domain.com|imap.mail.domain.com].icon

You look at your website with /favicon.ico to test,
if it is work for example

HTTP:// www. domain .com/favicon.ico

Some of them are complex alike
http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/shared/img/frm2/favicon.ico
(Actually, it works that is mine at Softbank in Japan.)

Another example that works too.

http://www.icloud.com/favicon.ico
https://mail.google.com/favicon.ico (as of June 29, 2017)
http://s.uicdn.com/mailint/5.856.0/assets/favicon.ico (as of June 29, 2017) (Mail.com)
https://www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico (as of July 12, 2017, and thanks to RpD)

It always can be found in the HTML header:
Just open the HTML source (Ctrl+U) and search for a favicon. (Thank You jeroen for suggesting.)

If you successful favicon.ico on website and copy whole URL, paste, and [Click] OK

FYI:
POP account it works the same way as I explain above about IMAP account as an example.

IF:
One account POP and one account IMAP, you do not need to worry about favicon logo.
But, you have two or more account on POP and IMAP, it will show up "not correct" favicon logo.

TO SOLVE:
[Right-click] X-notifier
[click] Options
[Click] Accounts (tabs)
[Look host with IMAP account and click]
(Alias) [Type] IMAP/(fill-in as you wish)
and
[Look host with POP account and click]
(Alias) [Type] POP/(fill-in as you wish)

FOR EXAMPLE:
IMAP/work icloud.com
IMAP/home icloud.com
IMAP/Mac mail.com
IMAP/iPad mail.com

POP/work hotmail.com
POP/home hotmail.com
POP/PC mail.com
POP/Anoirid mail.com

AND:
Enjoy your favicon.ico with your POP/IMAP account(s) !

Thanks to RpD for corrections.

[Q&A] Is X-Notifier "realtime monitor"?

Forums
User Guide

Answer:
X-Notifier is a periodic checker and not a realtime monitor.
Currently there is no instant check less than one minute.

Check interval:

  • 0 minute  - check on startup only
  • 1 minute(s) or more - check with this period.
  • 10 minutes - Default (when you install X-notifier first time.)

Type 'about:config' in the location bar.

extensions.xnotifier.saveCookies

When it is set to 'true', X-notifier's cookies are saved
in Firefox's cookie manager. (default)

When it is set to 'false', X-notifier's cookies are not saved.
They are on memories, while Firefox is running.

by saving cookie on Firefox.

Saving cookie on 'Firefox's cookie manager

  • X-notifier uses those cookies.
    It means that X-notifier can access webmails quickly without login.


Not saving
