I'll have to check this out -- I use growl for just about everything now -- I used to use mail.appetizer, but growls 'music video' has me hooked.

I want it to interact directly with the POP3 server, view header information and able to delete messages without having to download them first. There are a few old, unsupported apps that do something kind of like this but nothing like the Windows app called PopTray (www.poptray.org). This has been the one thing that I haven't found since I switched a couple of months ago. Anyone have any ideas or interested in working with me on building one?
