Darn me and my inability to Google something first before asking. :(

It works great but can it also offer the same display when receiving a new email from a yahoo or hotmail account?

I get a message in Pidgin stating something like 1 new email but I was wondering if there was a way to configure this to activate the LED light as well.

I did Google first this time but came up empty.

Thanks!

You're right: the LED plugin doesn't offer a way to notify you of new e-mails.

I've hacked the plugin to notify you of new e-mails - and it works - but bear in mind that my C sucks and this is based on the little knowledge I gained after quickly reading the Pidgin API.

The hacked plugin will popup a dialog when you have recieved a new e-mail and acknowledging the dialog, by closing it, will stop the LED from blinking. But, as such, you may find the the popping up of the dialog an annoyance. But I cannot think of anything better (my original "solution" was a timeout solution which meant you either had the seconds for the LED to blink at a very high number and saw the LED for a long time or very little and missed it most of the time). :)

I've made sure that it does not popup the dialog again if it is already on your screen.
