Hi,

in research for the some daemons I searched through the various notifications the Jolla emits. And I found out that after I have one unread email the informations which are send out from messageserver5 are not that helpful anymore. Why don't you even fill out the x-nemo-preview-body? 

    method call sender=:1.26 -> dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications serial=770 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
   string "messageserver5"
   uint32 0
   string ""
   string "new emails"
   string ""
   array [ 
      string "default"
      string ""
   ]
   array [ 
      dict entry(
         string "x-nemo-preview-body"
         variant             string ""
      )
      dict entry(
         string "x-nemo-item-count"
         variant             int32 2
      )
      dict entry(
         string "x-nemo.email.published-messages"
         variant             string "230,229"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "x-nemo-remote-action-default"
         variant             string "com.jolla.email.ui /com/jolla/email/ui com.jolla.email.ui openCombinedInbox"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "x-nemo-preview-summary"
         variant             string "1 new email"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "category"
         variant             string "x-nemo.email"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "x-nemo-timestamp"
         variant             string "2014-08-11T13:27:36Z"
      )
   ]
   int32 -1

It would be very cool to add these values even when one message is already unread.

What's your suggestion ? Once you have more than one unread email does not make sense to show arbitrary email subject or sender from one of the received emails. IMO.

Not in the actual message which pops up in Jolla Notification but as a hidden feature. The actual used fields in the displayed notifications of Jolla are in this case: string "new emails" and string "x-nemo-item-count" variant int32 2.

So why not fill out x-nemo-preview-summary and x-nemo-preview-body in the full way to make it possible for thirdparty apps to parse these messages.

Well, if the missing ones are filled they will be shown in the UI as well, check the dbus notification while having no unread messages.

Then maybe it is possible to add an extra flag with the informations if x-nemo-item-count is >2?

Or make it possible to get the last email received directly from the mailapp for example.

Not sure what you are looking for here, can you elaborate ? What's the value to show the last email received when you received 5 new emails ?
