Trayicon request

Great application. The only thing I'd like to tweak would be the option to only show the trayicon when new mail is available - so no icon most of the time.

Alternatively, it would be nice to have some brighter trayicons to give better visibility of the difference between the "mail" and "no mail" states - at the moment it's a bit subtle for my tastes! The ability to use user-provided icons would be ideal...

How would you open the main window when there's no icon?

What about the gray and red icon?
no mail -> gray
new mail -> red

Pretty distinctive?

I'm putting the 'user provided icons' idea on the feature list for later versions...Thanks.

Hmm... that's a good point.

That's actually what I'm using at the moment, but I'm still worried that I won't notice the icon has turned red, as even the red icon is relatively discreet.

That would be great, thanks.

This is added in 0.4 (you can change default and new mail icon).
