2x Issues

[Patrick Rutkowski]

I'm having two issues on my KDE system:

1) Kopete won't connect to irc.debian.org: the server window loops this 
message:

You are now marked as Offline.
NOTICE from : *** Looking up your hostname...
NOTICE from : *** Found your hostname, welcome back
NOTICE from : *** Checking ident

2) Is there a suggested program for checking my KMail inbox and giving me a 
pop-up in the sys-tray area when I get a new mail?

3) KDE is too awaesom, I think I might pass out!
