I wasn't suggesting it as a choice, but as another option. It's the
option which is most interesting to me. I tend to have Evo open from the
moment I arrive to the moment I depart; I don't care about whether or
not I have mail outside those times (I get ~400 pieces/day ... it's a
certainty that if I'm not reading it, I've got some to read =).

It would also seem that working out something with the taskbar would end
up with code that could be incorporated in the applet, perhaps even
directly by putting that bit of code in a library the applet can be
built against. That feels more elegant than having to maintain the
mail-checking code in Evo and the applet.

Cheers!
