Have read what there is on this topic here and elsewhere but still am hoping to come up with a solution. Want to get the KDE message indicator to display (i.e. show in my system tray area and turn green) when I get new messages in Thunderbird (or Gmail, whichever). The only time I've seen the KDE's neat message indicator work is with Kopete. I don't use Kmail and the few times I've considered it have been put off by the relative complexity of setting up Gmail / Gcalendar with is (while it is such a snap with Thunderbird). Not to mention that for me Kmail used to run by default in the background (despite that I did not actively run or use it) and would then generate a "fetch... unknown error" message on shutdown.
Seems many folks running Kubuntu Oneiric have seen it work, but haven't been sure how to help others (for whom it is not working) get it to work. I've tried the message notifier available in Muon with no success, only brought up more questions. Are there some specific Gnome packages to install that might likely get it to work? Does the message indicator depend on the whole Kmail/Kontact system (running in the background)? If so will have to reinstall and figure out how to avoid getting the error on shutdown.
