Hi.
Does anyone know of a way to add a "new mail" notification icon to the panel/system tray under CentOS 6? On CentOS 5, I used the "mail-notification" software package provided

You might consider having your MUA do the notifying rather than having an applet go check your inbox for you. I'm mostly using thunderbird for e-mail, and it actually also supports notification via pop-ups. But:
- I think it's nice to be able to close the application completely when not working on e-mail.
I hear you! ;)
- "Global" popups are generally annoying/too obtrusive. A small icon that changes state is much better.
Understandable.
http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/ I'm guessing this is what you've used in the past.
Actually, what I used on CentOS 5 was the below mentioned software. Before that, i.e. on EL 4, I believe something else was included in the main distro, but I don't remember what.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/mail-notification Even though the package is listed it appears nobody has packaged it in EPEL (for example). http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/repoview/letter_m.group.html
Well, it is actually included in EPEL 5, but not 6.
Not as simple, but you might consider building it on your system.
I tried both binary and source rpms from EPEL5, but it didn't work too well. Actually, the problem wasn't mail-notification itself, but rather eel2, which it requires. This used to be part of the main distribution, but isn't any more. Binaries from past versions have dependencies that are hard to resolve, and an attempt to rebuild from source rpm failed with the below error messages. Maybe I can find away around this, but I don't have time to try right now...

It isn't so common to receive email locally anymore, most people are
using
remote mail servers.
