Folder count in Mail.app
dbooster | Feb 21 2006
Ok, new question. I have a few GTD folders created in mail.app - Action, Respond, and Hold - and what I notice is sometimes something in these folders gets ignored simply because I forget it's in there and don't think to check. Is there a way (or a plug-in) to have a folder display the number of messages in it, even if they are marked read? This way I would always know at a glance - oh, I have two messages that need to be responded to. Thanks! 3 Comments

I don't think that's possible in mail itself - you might be able to add a dock badge with something like Docktopus. Alternatively, you could do something in applescript. Although it's not the most wonderful way, you can find out what's in where without too much difficulty. I have mine linked to GeekTool to give me a little note on the desktop as to how much unread mail I have, as well as what's in my inbox. » POSTED IN:
