Overview

What is The Unread 1.1?

Check unread/new emails without switching to Mail.app.

In depth

A closer look at The Unread 1.1

I have lots of applications with lots of BIG windows and only one monitor. I wanted a quick way to see if I had any new mail in Mail without actually wasting the .35 seconds required to make the Dock spring up or to command+tab to Mail only to have my hopes dashed by not finding a little red badge on the Mail icon. I tried a Konfabulator widget that had a floating window that displayed if and how many unread emails you have, but try as I might I just don't have the taste for floating windows, I value my screen real eastate and no matter where I put the darned things they eventually (or immediately) get in my way.<br><br> It's frustrating, I know, but I'm here to help!<br><br> That nice, compact, warm and fuzzy menu bar is (almost) always there, why not take advantage of that? And so I have. The Unread will display a menu bar status item representing the number of unread emails (if any) you have in your accounts in Mail. The title is highly customizable for each of four situations:<br>
  • 1. An error has occurred.
  • 2. Mail is not running.
  • 3. You have no unread messages.
  • 4. You do have unread messages.
The can be set to whatever you want for each situation. It's a simple, small, effective and -- in my opinion -- useful little tool. Give it a shot.
