Gmail notification doesn't show up

[deity]

I am not sure whether it is a missing feature or a bug. I seems to recall reading somewhere that only pop e-mail notification would show up??? But anyway, When I configure GAIM/Pidgin to connect to my Google Talk account via its Jabber server, I can set GAIM/Pidgin up so that it display new e-mail notification. It comes in the form of a yellow box in the main contact windows, and also it would flash in the taskbar (not system tray) (WinXP) if the "flash window when IM are received" preference is set for GAIM/Pidgin. However, it would be extremely helpful if Gunifications would work with e-mail notification via Jabber, because at the moment, Gunifications seems to just ignore it completely

We actually do listen for the proper events for e-mail received and act accordingly; however, not all themes implement e-mail notifications (our support of this event is relatively new compared to most of our existing themes), and you may need to explicitly enable notifications for mail received in the preferences window for Guifications.

An additional wrinkle to note here is that if you have multiple new emails, we don't have a notification for that. If you have only a single new mail, then we will show a notification as expected, provided your loaded theme supports email notifications and you have email notifications enabled in the Guifications preferences as I noted in the previous comment.

It looks like we may need to add yet another event for multiple emails or figure out how to shoehorn it in to our existing event setup.

For reference, the relevant code from gf_event.c is (the comment is mine, added here for clarification):

static void *
gf_event_email(PurpleConnection *gc, const char *subject, const char *from,
                const char *to, const char *url)
{
    gf_event_common("new-email", gc->account,
            purple_find_buddy(gc->account, from),
            NULL, from, NULL, PURPLE_CBFLAGS_NONE, NULL, subject);
    return real_notify_email(gc, subject, from, to, url);
}

static void *
gf_event_emails(PurpleConnection *gc, size_t count, gboolean detailed,
                const char **subject, const char **from,
                const char **to, const char **url)
{
    if (count == 1 && subject && *subject)
        return gf_event_email(gc, *subject, *from, *to, *url);
 /* Here is where the problem lies--we don't do a notification on multiple
  * email messages.  We need to either figure out a way to make the existing
  * single-mail notification be good enough or add yet another event. */
    return real_notify_emails(gc, count, detailed, subject, from, to, url);
}

This ticket should actually not have closed. I must have forgotten to unset the "pending" flag.

Any status change on this issue?
