poptrayminus install probs

[Fester Bestertester]

I use poptrayminus on my Kubuntu system at home - -it's the most useful utility I have - but here in a rest-home I'm trying to get my Pi 3B up to speed. poptrayminus_1.2_all.deb tries to install when double-clicked, but complains that a package is missing. Very informative, NOT!
Okay, open a terminal and apt install. Now python-central is required. python-central_0.6.17ubuntu2_all.deb is OLD, but can be found in kubuntu 10.04 - and that complains that python (>= 2.4.3-10) is required.
Latest python is installed, but is not recognized !!! Is this an 'architecture' problem? arm instead of x86? Can somebody more knowledgeable attempt this install? Please? or find a similar mail-watcher that's not too fancy, that does JUST that?
The only flaw I can find (really only a 'niggle', is that the tab label for (each? I only have one) account is not a clickable button linking to the appropriate mailer or account.

It would appear this software is abandoned and it even pre-dates the Raspberry Pi SBC:

Thunderbird email client is in the Raspbian Buster repositories, so maybe Birdtray ??

Those Ubuntu debs won't work at all well on Raspbian. If you are using Ubuntu on your Raspberry Pi, your query should be here.
