<subsection name="Debian package">
<p>Download current debian package from Sourceforge, double click on it
to launch package installer.
</p>
<p>
Select Install Package, installer will automatically download and
install Java and the appropriate SWT package. After installation,
DavMail is available in the Applications menu.
</p>
<p>Note to Ubuntu 13 users, you will need to apply the following patch to fix missing whitelist
regression: <a href="https://launchpad.net/~timekiller/+archive/unity-systrayfix">Unity Desktop with Systray Whitelisting Support</a></p>
<p>Note to Ubuntu 12 Natty users: they eventually fixed Oneiric issue, use gsettings command below</p>
<p>Note to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric users: Unity does not support system tray defined by FreeDesktop, you will need
to switch to standard Gnome Panel to use DavMail (and any other application using system tray)</p>
<p>Note to Ubuntu 10.04 users: all tray icons are hidden by default, use the following command to restore normal mode:</p>
<code>gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"</code>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Manual setup">
<p>Prerequisite: OpenJDK 6 or 7 or Sun JRE 6. Tray icon is now implemented with SWT and compatible with
Java 5.
</p>
<p>Note: some users reported issues with OpenJDK 6, please upgrade to OpenJDK 7 in this case.</p>
<p>You should first download and install Java, with the graphical package manager or through
command line.
</p>
<p>Under Ubuntu, launch System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager, quick search
default-jre, mark for installation and click Apply
</p>
<p>Or use the following command:</p>
<code>sudo apt-get install default-jre</code>
<p>Download the linux x86 DavMail package from Sourceforge and uncompress it with
your favorite tool. The standard package will run natively on x86, to use DavMail
on any other hardware platform, replace the SWT with the right one from
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/swt/">http://www.eclipse.org/swt/</a>
or use the platform independent package.
</p>
<p>On Ubuntu and other Gnome or Kde distributions, just use the desktop launcher.
On other distributions, try
<code>davmail.sh</code>.
You should now see the DavMail gateway icon in the tray :
