Well, are you looking for a better notifier than the one thunderbird 
comes with?  Because if you minimize thunderbird, it will notify you 
when an email comes in and you can click on the title to open the message.


So are you looking for a prettier version of this, or are you just 
trying to get rid of the thunderbird taskbar when minimized?
