http://kmext.sourceforge.net/files/kmgspace.7z
make sure to clear your cache before downloading because sometimes it will download same old file from the cache.
there's mail checker based on a stripped miranda plugin..displays new mail as popup..it supports accounts that support pop3 like google, yahoo and hotmail. the extension is preconfigured for googlemail yahoo and gmx to make it easy to add accounts from those services
