If the system tray icon is not activated then you need dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow#1 setHidden off then to make the window appear again. I think this is one way to achieve what you want. Thanks for sharing, but do You have an idea how to fix this: Code: Select all `[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow#1, setHidden ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!` ? PS.: I Googled it, ran "dcopserver" and now: Code: Select all `[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow#1 setHidden on object not accessible` PPS.: Code: Select all `[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ dcop kmail No such application: 'kmail'`

No surprise that happens if you use KDE4 with the KDE4 version of Kmail. DCOP is a KDE3 technique, and not used by KDE anymore. Hopefully there's an equivalent dbus-call but I'm far from a dbus-expert. OpenSUSE 11.4, 64-bit with KDE 4.6.4 Proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.
