i know Charlie fixed the problems with international systems so that shouldnt effect u're usage. have u gone into the widget prefs and set it to check for new mail fairly often?

It is not working for me at all. Started it and the introduction window appears, after a snip it disappears and than nothing. No bezel no icon at all. Getting Mails and nothing happens. I have a german system OS 10.3.4. And what now?

Charlie, How can I get in touch with you via e-mail? I have some of the code worked out and would like to share it back with you if you're interested, and have you refine/retouch it. ;-)

Brilliant!

This is excellent! One question... How hard would it be to have it scan mailboxes other than InBox? The sad thing is, I have too many, so would have to have some way to pick a subset of my mailboxes that I'd want it to scan.

I looked at the code, but I don't "do" javascript or AppleScript very much so I'm not sure how to best approach a modification.

Anyway, excellent work!

i would say that all u have to do is go in the prefs for the mail bezel and set the frequency to something like 1 minute or 30 seconds. or even 15 seconds, that way it will react almost instantaneously. if u really want it that fast set it to 1 second (mind u this may or may not make the bezel a resource hog if its querying Mail.app every second)
