That isn't necessary. :-)
It is a good thing for a mail client to allow checking for messages when
it has no windows open. But it's not a critical Natty-stopping flaw if
it doesn't.
If you want it implemented in your favorite mail client, draw up a
sketch of a few different ways it could be toggled on/off within that
client, choose the best one, implement it (or promote it to attract
someone else to implement it), and send the code upstream. You have the
power.
as for a short-term solution: i'll use webmail. (forgive me, conscious :P )
