As it's only a single application, it should only have one tray icon IMO.
Even though there is no technical reason for it, I see each tray icon as an
application. But when I read articles in akregator and a new mail is coming
in, I regularly click the kmail tray icon and then wonder for a second where
akregator has gone when I want to Alt-Tab back to it.
Kontact would have to merge status information from different parts into one
icon - or it could only display a flag in the icon and show the number of new
mails and articles etc. in the title, at least when minimzed.
