Guide Review - Mail.appetizer 1.0 - Mac OS X Mail New Mail Announcer
Mac OS X Mail uses the Dock to announce new mail, and this is good. But if you like to have your Dock hide out of the way and still don't want to miss important messages you're a bit out of luck.
Mail.appetizer fills this gap and your screen. It does so transparently in a cool and mouth-wetting style. It's really great to have mail announced this way, and it works. If you remember the right keyboard and mouse combinations, you can even mark messages read, open or delete them and go to the next mail quickly. If you can't, Mail.appetizer can cycle through the new messages automatically.
It would be great if you could tell Mail.appetizer which folders you do not want it to watch for new mail.
