Mail Widget 1.4: SSL support. Rebuilt. Fast.
Mail widget is a widget for Mail.
It polls a specified POP, IMAP or .Mac account every time the Dashboard is loaded (even when Mail is not running) and displays the number of unread messages. It also features the option to “speak” the number of new emails.
Version 1.4 is completely rebuilt. It now offers support for SSL connections. The developer claims that it also now much faster. And he is right.
Mail Widget is freeware. You can get it from the developer’s site 
.

Tried version 1.4 and works great for Apple’s .Mac mail, but could not get it to work with my POP email account. When I hit the Verify button, it went yellow for a second, then to Red. For comparison purposes on the .Mac account, when I hit Verify, it went yellow for several seconds then turned green.

Obviously, you’ve checked that the details were entered correctly, etc, etc…
Drop the developer an email. They are usually only too glad to help out and know more about the software than anyone else.
