mail notification for t-bird? (for dapper)

[Sundar Nagarajan]

Have you tried kbiff. I had it in dapper, and I am now on feisty and I 
use it all the time. It sits in ksystray, and notifies you independent 
of TB.

Here is the package description for dapper:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/mail/kbiff
