Still waiting for “Skype for email,” wherein notifications of new messages would be delivered through something else than Skype, namely email.
- EmpirePhoenix 8y agoYou mean Skype for business? It does exactly this (well with a "slight" delay but still :)).
- JadeNB 8y agoIsn't that just e-mail?
- aasasd 8y agoIf email was what my interlocutors used then sure. You need two people for this dance, y'know.
- JadeNB 8y agoAt least on macOS, Skype issues notifications on messages, and I think these notifications are programmatically accessible. I don't know if the analogous statement on Windows is true. Isn't it possible to just write a daemon to listen for the relevant notifications and then e-mail you?
- aasasd 8y agoIIRC that can even be done in Linux, but the main source of my lamentation in the first place is that I can't just close the app and forget about it, because of an occasional message in a couple months. (Though, now that I think of it, Skype API on the desktop was there before version 8―and since they've broken the app quite thoroughly in version 8, I'd be surprised if the API survived.)
