gtalk / gmail question

i just now set up my gmail account with a number of labels
and rules, so that emails from myspace are archived and
labelled immediately, same with emails from last.fm,
daft.ie, etc etc etc.

however - when I receive an email from one of these
services, gtalk doesn't pop up a box saying "you have new
mail" because the email is automatically archived (moved
from the inbox).

This just happened - however, it might've happened merely
because i was logged into and navigating my gmail account at
the time of receipt of the email.

Does anybody know how all of this works - and if it works as
i suspect, how to configure gtalk to notify me when email is
received from these services?

well, you need to establish whether gtalk acknowledges all
unread emails, or simply unread emails in ur main inbox.

if you've got another email account, set that up as you have
done with myspace (&...etc) and then send ur gmail account
an email.

Does anybody know how all of this works?
in a word - no.

:)

yeah, i just tested it and gtalk only acknowledges email
that arrives in the inbox. so i've changed my email rules
accordingly, so that it just labels incoming email.... i'll
investigate whether there's a way to set up timed archiving
(let's say, after 5 days archive all mail that's labelled
with ...) or whether i'll have to do frequent spring
cleaning, doing searches for labelled mail and archiving it
by hand.

but yeah. bogey!
