Mail.appetizer is a handy little plugin that enables you to preview incoming Apple Mail right on your Mac desktop. The Mail.appetizer window shows you the subject, sender, and a brief snippet of the message. Once the plugin is installed (and Mail is restarted), you'll have a new Notifications option in your Mail preferences, with options to change:
- Which mailboxes show the notifications
- The font and size of the notification text
- Transparency
- Time to display the message
There are currently builds for both Tiger and Leopard.

Or, you know, you could install Growl and have notifications for just about every program you have on your Mac.

Exactly what I was thinking. I could have sworn that Growl already had a plugin for mail.

It does have one. I use it and see a message pop up every 30 minutes or so telling me of a new email.
