--------------------------------+------------------------------
E-mail preflet used to offer (until January this year, I think) an option
to activate a deskbar replicant that informed you about new incoming mail
(the mailbox icon changed from empty to full) and gave you a kind of
shortcut to your mail folders, Mail application and queries (see
[https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/workshop-email.html]). As long
as this replicant was already sitting in your deskbar before the changes
from January (or you copied pre-January mail settings with an activated
replicant to a new Haiku installation) you wouldn't notice a difference
after updating with pkgman because the replicant would work just as
before.
However, after a fresh install (with new mail settings) or after deleting
the replicant, there seems no obvious way to activate the e-mail replicant
again. The option seems to be gone from the E-mail preflet. The option to
change the menu links (which used to be displayed by the e-mail replicant)
is still there.
