Is thunderbird and gmail a good option to use the digikam mailing list ?

[Andrey Goreev]

I think you need to google for " *your email provider* imap thunderbird".
If you added it to Thunderbird using pop3 protocol you can only have scheduled delivery, e.g. every 5 min, 30 min, etc.
imap should be able to "push" an email to your Thunderbird whenever a new one comes in.

So you use Thunderbird for the Digikam mailing list, and gmail (webmail?) for 
all other email. That makes me think you are using a separate email address 
for this list. (if you were using the same gmail address as for your other 
mail, you'd see the Digikam messages there as well)

If that's the case, I don't see how you could get notifications from the 
address you use here to the other address(es) you use, other than through the 
settings for your gmail account. But that's not a Digikam problem...

Same for the user interface, you'll probably get more/better answers on a 
platform dedicated to gmail (or try Google "gmail how to use"?"). Or, of 
course, you can use Thunderbird for the other mail as well...
