Thanks a bunch charli181. I didn't think you are this fast. However I have thought about this whole email plugin and would like so suggest some more features:

The documentation says "Added option to only display alert once until the total mailbox message count changes." so what happens if the count reduces ie when I download my mails and it reduces to 0 ? It also would be nice to support multiple mail accounts.

It also would be nice to add a mail icon into the popup and play a sound file when a mail-message arrives (better would be a menu-option to enable either popup and / or sound).
I think you could improve this plugin substantially (This would make my "...if it reduces to 0" question obsolete) by not polling the simple amount of mail messages but their subject. This way you could realize this:

Mail (subject A) arrives -> plugin shows: 1 new mail message
Mail (subject B) arrives along with Mail (subject c) -> plugin shows: 2 new mail messages (3 total)

And last but not least (this should be no work at all after implementing the subject identification) maybe you should change the displayed message. It says "1 messages", "2 messages" rather than "1 new mail message", "2 new mail messages (3 total)" (singular, plural)

These improvements would make this plugin perfect in my opinion.

But up until now there are already two things that make me prefer this plugin to the myMail plugin:

1. This plugin is not shown as a menu entry so it just provides the informational service that I need (In my opinion a HTPC should be dedicated as such and things like email, phonecalls, messaging in generall should only appear in an informational way)
2. The feature you just added. I cannot believe that I am the only one who is being bothered by unneccessary popups during movies and similar activities. All other people using these plugins are downloading their mails instantly even if they are sitting on the couch and just want to relax by watching a movie ?

Anyway, thanks for your work and keep up being a part of this great community
