Xubuntu/XFCE: Is it possible to have email notification in the system tray?

The title says it all. I want to be notified in the tray.


Install xfce4-mailwatch-plugin. Then, right click on the panel, and choose Panel --> Add New Items

If you are using Thunderbird, then there is the Firetray extension.

When there's no unread email, it show the faded envelope icon (that can be configured otherwise). When there are unread emails, it shows their count.
