The library hasn't been changed in years, so it has to be Chrome.

The Webnotifications API doesn't specify when notification should be closed, it's up to the user agent. It seems that in the meantime, either Chrome or the library you're using to display web notifications has made changes that cause the notifications to timeout and close after a little while. I think it's safe to close this request.

The Webnotifications API doesn't specify when notification should be closed, it's up to the user agent. It's possible to close them manually though, so we should do that after some time.

This sounds like a browser issue. Maybe, but notifications from other web pages do time out. It's just Horde that stays in the notification area until explicitly acknowledged. Why? It's a new message in that mailbox. Newmail notifications != notifications only on the first time the message is delivered to the server. Yes, but from a user perspective, if I choose to manually move an email message to another folder, I don't need to be told about it afterwards. I think at least it qualifies for a folder/message handling option.

When IMP displays new mail messages in the Chrome browser's tray notification window, the tray window stays open (at least in Ubuntu). A timeout should be added that hides the window after a while so the user doesn't have to click it. This sounds like a browser issue. At a minimum, it is not a Horde issue (we use this code to display web notifications - https://github.com/auchenberg/WebNotification.js/ - so worst case is that the error is in there). Also, the notification should not be displayed when an email message is moved to another folder. Why? It's a new message in that mailbox. Newmail notifications != notifications only on the first time the message is delivered to the server.
