I am running Ubuntu 11.04 with unity, i just wonder why gnome-default-applications-properties only show me the evolution program. There was no customize option before?

Just would like to launch Google email from the messages indicator.

thanks.

The Gmail Notifier program integrates with the mail indicator very nicely. You can install it by adding the ppa:

sudo apt-add repository ppa:gm-notify-maintainers/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gm-notify

The open the gm-notify program to choose your settings. If you want to remove the evolution icon from the menu, please see this question.

Oops, sorry. I totally forgot to add the link. It's there now. Hopefully you can successfully add the ppa. – root45 Sep 4 '11 at 19:52
