I had bought this app some time ago; works great. However, after my last reinstall, I don't install apps that require administrative access anymore. Sorry DockStar. The best alternative (although fairly different) is Mail.appetizer. Functionally different, but the end result is the same for me.
not for other apps than mail? like aduim and thunderbird, that would be great because I don't use mail
Switching back to this one after my Mail.app refused to show the viewer window and quit the application. Tracked down the problem to the Mail Badger bundle.
DO NOT BOTHER BUYING THIS!!! Mail badger is way better and FREE!!!
Great idea! It's really perfect for the guy with lots of rules and folders.
Perfect for seeing at a glance what kind of mail has arrived.
Simple and cheap. I like it.
Running great on my PPC Mini v10.4.7
This plug-in is pure genius.
i love this. love it, love it. but after the OS X 10.4.7 update, mail started quitting all of the time. i uninstalled all extras until things get worked out. but i miss it terribly. well worth the price.
