I am a huge fan of Kmail and in large kontact (apart from knode and the Journal thing, they are semi useless). It annoys me that Thunderbird (v2.0) won't sit neatly in KDEs system tray and as you mentioned. KMail just moves around a heck of a lot easier with keys then thunderbird Nice blog entry.

There is a checkbox in the (something like) Settings >> Message >> actions >> Advanced (maybe someone who runs Kmail in English can give the exact menu names) window for "Run program: __________". If it is checked, and if "kmail" is in its run-program-textbox, then the behaviour will be like I described. Now, finally, I have learned to uncheck it, like you have since the very beginning, arooaroo! Resolved!

My Kmail never opens up when new mail arrives. All I see is the email count in the systray. Sorry, I'm not sure I can offer any advice. Have you tried asking on the forum of your particular Linux distro? Tore, I’ve never seen that issue. My Kmail never opens up when new mail arrives. All I see is the email count in the systray.

But HOW do I prevent Kmail to open up the main window directly on each new mail arrival? That is annoying. I am fully content to watch the count in the systray icon: I do not want to be interrupted in my work at each mail arrival else than by the updated count and a little sound signal! Please tell me the secret! All that is very good and I appreciate it.

Open KMail and select Settings/Configure KMail... from the menu bar. When the config dialog appears, click the Appearance icon on the left, then select the last tab called System Tray. Here you will see options regarding the system tray (not many, mind you). Enable the tray and that's all you need to do :) Very easy.

Could you explain more about how you managed to configure it like that? I am using KDE 3.5.4 on Debian Etch and I am not seeing any such behavior. I think the third feature is very interesting.
