I agree. Some sort of notification needs to be there. Perhaps you could offer these options to the user to choose from:

(1) no notification

(2) system tray (by default), and actually I would not use some NewsGator logo (should you plan to make one in that size), but something more generic like Outlook does with its email symbol, just a newsfeed symbol if you will (like the V0.2 NewsGator logo)

(3) balloon (something similar to what Windows is popping up all the time; this might be more convenient for some of the users)

(4) sound (optional on top of all the other options)

(5) shortly changing mouse pointer (optional on top of all the other options)

Mike, you’re right; the icon was removed. The obvious place to put this information would be the Outlook status bar; sadly, Outlook does not allow programmatic access to it. I could put the task bar icon back, I suppose…thoughts, anyone?

Version 0.4 does not appear to put the “new message” icon in the sytem tray when new news arrives(which version 0.2 did). But I’m not complaining – this is great stuff!
