Kmail and new mail notifications
In the Kmail settings under "Configure Notifications" I have added a sound and window pop-up upon receipt of a new e-mail. This works fine so long as I leave Kmail open all the time.
If I close Kmail I don't receive the notifications even though the KDE System Guard Process Table shows that the knotify process runs all the time.
Is there anyway to get new mail notifications without Kmail being open all the time? I don't like to leave Kmail open when I'm not using it since it takes up space in the task bar.
Thanks for any replies.
knotify is a KDE service managing notifications for all KDE applications.
But the application has to trigger the notification.
I use korn as an email monitor, it shows an icon in the system tray displaying how many new messages are available.
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. I will try the korn mailbox monitor.
I looked at the SuSE 8.2 package manager via Yast and did not see korn (was in 8.1 I think) but did find kbiff. I installed kbiff and it works in a similar manner - one of four small icons sits in the sys tray to indicate new mail, old mail, no mail, or no mail box. A pop up window also displays when new mail arrives. Kmail need not be open for kbiff notifications. This is just what I was looking for!

I use kbiff on SuSE 8.2 at work, too.
Unfortunately it crashes on me every now and then.
It's quickly restarted though.
