DockStar

doctopus makes your dock look way too cluttered/busy, in my opinion.... check it out: http://www.startly.com/images/products/screen-docktopus-inaction.jpg

If you want to see how it works, we've published a review at http://elfURL.com/104l

Sorry, that URL apparently doesn't work. Doctopus is here: http://www.startly.com/products/docktopus.html

While this is a nifty little Mail add-on, there's a better solution. DockStar is $8 to own, which is a good value, until you compare it to Docktopus. http://www.startly.com/products/docktopus/ Not only does Doctopus do what DockStar does, it also gives you Mail Peek, which allows you to hover over a Mail badge and see the 5 most recent emails to that account. Plus, Doctopus is for more than just Mail. There are badges for iTunes, iCal, file folders and much more. Doctopus is $19.95. The $11.95 extra is worth it.

I like this a lot! Just yesterday I installed and setup ActOn: (Story from Macoshints.com) http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050621132840382&query=acton (Web Site) http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html It is free (donation-ware) and works as expected, but DockStar does exactly what I've always wanted: different notifications in the Dock for different mail boxes. You don't need to have multiple accounts as stated in the story. Look at the Tips and Tricks link on the DockStar main page. DockStar is not free; its $8, but worth it for me anyway. --Jeff
