Description Jussi Kukkonen [inactive] 2011-09-01 12:59:17 UTC 
I hit the same thing that was discussed in
http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8980: Google servers just wouldn't send  "new-mail" notifications.

Turns out the culprit is another google xmpp extension: this is needed before the server sends any notifications:
<iq type='set' id='user-setting-3'>
  <usersetting xmlns='google:setting'>
    <mailnotifications value='true'/>
  </usersetting>
</iq>

I've got a patch, will attach in a moment.

Actually to be _really_ correct we should check for NS_GOOGLE_SETTINGS in connection.c:connection_disco_cb() and define GABBLE_CONNECTION_FEATURES_GOOGLE_SETTINGS...

I can fix that (but not right now, my dogs demand attention).

Ok, these two patches should do it.

Patches are in git as well just in case that fits your work flow better:

Merged upstream. Will be in next unstable 0.13.6 release. If you need it in stable .12 release let us know, we will discuss this possibility.

We need this in a stable .12 release.
