Description kaini1123 2010-04-18 10:24:26 UTC 
Version:           1.13.2 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-20-generic

Hello,

I would love to see a feature to "hide" the KMail tray icon if there are no new mails.
I know there is a feature to completely remove it when there are no new mails, but I would much prefer if the icon was hidden like the printer-applet is. (It is always visible if I click < in the tray icon area but when there are some printing jobs it will be visible without clicking < too)

Here is an example how it could look like:
             ("closed" tray icon area /// "opened" tray icon area)
no new mail: <(Other Icons) /// >(Other Icons)(KMail)
new mail:    <(Other Icons)(KMail: 1) /// >(Other Icons)(KMail: 1)

Hi,

please have a look at the settings dialog
Settings -> Configure KMail -> Appearance
There is a tab for the systray icon where you can change it to your preferred setting.

Regards
