Notifications

Durian posts native macOS notifications when new mail arrives. Click a notification to jump to the thread.

Enabling

System-level: grant notification permission on first run (System Settings → Notifications → Durian).

App-level toggle in config.pkl:

settings {
  notifications_enabled = true
}

Per-account override

Disable notifications for specific accounts (e.g. high-volume work mailbox) directly on the account:

accounts {
  (C.microsoft365) {
    name = "Work"
    email = "you@company.com"
    alias = "work"
    notifications = false      // silence this one account
  }
}

Omit the field to inherit the global setting.

Filtering noise

Combine notifications with filter rules to silence specific categories. Anything tagged ephemeral is treated as low-priority:

// rules.pkl
new {
  name = "Bulk notifications"
  match = "header:precedence:bulk OR header:auto-submitted:auto-generated"
  add_tags { "notification"; "ephemeral" }
  remove_tags { "inbox" }
}

Mail with tag:ephemeral is excluded from system notifications and from the default Inbox query.

Banner errors (in-app)

Sync failures, OAuth expiry, and SMTP errors surface as toast banners in the bottom-right corner of the main window — see BannerManager / BannerView. Warnings auto-dismiss after 5 seconds; critical errors stay until clicked.
