>From the FAQ on the Lightning website: Can Sunbird/Lightning remind me when closed? Can Sunbird start minimized? No, Sunbird and Lightning can't give pop-up messages or send e-mails when they are not running. There is a 'trick' for this problem. You can hide Sunbird in the tray. This can be done with Suntray or Minimize to Tray for Windows and Kdocker for Linux.
