I think mail notification utilities are always going to be needed by quite 
a significant proportion of users. Just recently on IRC, I've seen several 
people ask where kbiff is (I haven't seen that in *ages*), and even when I 
am using MS Windows for Teletubbies I make sure I have mail notification on.

I know there must be people out there who don't use this sort of utility, 
but where I work we all have them, whether we're on Windows boxes or unix 
boxes (no matter what environment they are running). It's not policy, it's 
choice.

Oh, and if you need help setting it up, I'm sure someone in #kde-users will 
help ;)
