Tray-able email client?

[kevin11951]

Not sure what happened to my other thread, but Ill try again:

I am sick of dealing with the Evolution/Alltray combo, and am looking for a different email client that is tray-able...

It would be nice if the tray icon would change when mail has arrived.

kMail looks like an option, but I prefer GTK apps...

Try cloudSN I know it's not what you want, but it is really really nice and integrates very nicely.

Thunderbird has a minimize to tray addon.

Sylpheed can minimize to the tray too, and check for mail periodically if you want, and notify you of new mail.

Thunderbird has a minimize to tray addon.

+1 That's what I use. You just have to install the addon.

Thunderbird with Lightening is just as complete as Evolution.

I am using it now, thanks...

Does it change when new mail arrives?

You can use Alltray in the repos and it will put just about anything in the tray.

I have run into a problem with Thunderbird...

I can't tell when I have new mail, because the icon doesn't change...

[Pogeymanz]

I use claws-mail, which is a fork of sylpheed, and almost identical.

Its icon in the tray changes from three possibilities: You have no new/unread mail, you have unread mail that is not new, you have new mail.

It's a lot lighter than Thunderbird.
