[gentoo-user] Mozilla Lightening Alarms

2009-06-18 Thread sean

Hello All,

	Is there an option I am missing in Thunderbird's Lightening extension, 
or some other way to get alarms to appear when Thunderbird is not running?


I have noticed also that if Thunderbird is shutdown at the time of a 
reminder popping up, it does not pop up later after the fact when 
Thunderbird is started.


Thanks
Sean

From the FAQ on the Lightning website:

Can Sunbird/Lightning remind me when closed? Can Sunbird start minimized?
No, Sunbird and Lightning can't give pop-up messages or send
e-mails when they are not running. There is a 'trick' for this
problem. You can hide Sunbird in the tray. This can be done with
Suntray or Minimize to Tray for Windows and Kdocker for Linux.

Thanks, I had hoped there was some other undocumented trick.
