You'll have to find some "email notifier" program.

Is there a way to have Thunderbird running in the background or rather notify me when I have mail? Right now, I have to open Thunderbird in order to see if I have mail. When I was using another program, a splash screen popped up when I had mail without me having to physically open the actual program.
It works if open Thunderbird and then minimize it, but I don't necessarily like that. I would prefer it to notify me whenever I have mail.
Thanks!
