Mac Mail Notifier software?

I used to use one with Entourage, but have since switched to Mail as it is far far better. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the app.
Does anyone know what it was? Basically it would check mail ever minute and flash up on screen - you just gave it pop3 details and chose an app for it to open when new mail was there.

Anyone know this app?
It was great

are these of any help?

Is it GROWL?

Hmm no. None of these use pop3 credentials. (I have all of them and they don't satisfy my needs) I will summarise what my mystery app did:

1: in its preferences, you enter pop3 details and set how often you want to check emails
2: you set a program for it to open when the alert (which appears, large and flashing in the middle of the screen) is clicked
3: it opens mail/entourage and you press get mail

Anyone have any idea what this little app was? Status bar in the top bar etc

What ever the app's name... it sounds totally useless to me...

I see no need for an app that checks your email, then when it finds new mail tells you "Hey!! open up Mail, and press GET MAIL, there is something in there." LOL




Just set your Mail or entourage to check for mail every 1 minute... ;D

For me it is completely USEFUL. I use a separate workstation for my email while working on two laptops and two desktops while working. I simply don't have the time to open up Mail all the time and check it, and this was pretty and played a nice little tune

So has anyone got any other ideas?!?!

Alex

is it possible it was notifix?

You don't have to "open up mail all the time"... Just set it to "check for mail every 1 minute"... Mail will show a red dot on the Dock icon that tells you how many new unread messages are there... no need to press "get mail".

If you have Growl... Growl will POP-UP an show you who the mail is from and part of the text...

But hey... you know what they say "one man's garbage is another man's treasure"

Cheers for the help anyway, KoDorSean
