If you don't have any mail, you don't see anything (the icon appears and disappears when mail is detected or downloaded). And of course you don't have any mail, as far as the applet is concerned, because you haven't configured it. Now, the fact that you haven't configured it suggests that the package did not install properly, because the first time you run it, you should get the default settings, which include the popup window-- which has a menu so you can configure the program to know where your mail is. So if you don't see the popup window, on firstrun, something is wrong, and the only errors you've mentioned are in the accessibility area, which 1) doesn't seem related and 2) I turned off in gnome anyway, so I wouldn't know how deeply related this might be to the application in question. The first thing I would do is open gnome-system-monitor and see if it's still running. If it is, kill it. Then, rather than running the app from the terminal, use the GNOME panel menu to add it to your panel. Then it should hopefully start correctly-- or at least give more info as to why it isn't.
