Hey-
i use Kontact for my email. Is there something that can run in the system tray that will notify me when i have mail without having to leave Kontact open all the time?

Thanks,

Well, Kontact will still be open and taking up RAM, but you can make the Window disappear on command.

Settings -> Configure KMail

Click Appearance Icon, select System Tray Tab

Check Enable System Tray Icon and 'Always show in System Tray'.

Now, clicking on the resulting system tray icon will hide/reveal Kontact. You can also initiate a manual mail check, and open a new email for editing, by right clicking the icon.
