By default, Mailnag emits libnotify notifications, which work fine on most desktop environments
but are visible for a few seconds only. If you like to have a tighter desktop integration
(e.g. a permanently visible indicator in your top panel) you have to install an appropriate
extension/plugin for your desktop shell. Currently the following desktop shells are supported:

• GNOME-Shell (GNOME-Shell extension)
• Ubuntu Unity (MessagingMenu plugin)
