I have no idea what is the name for the red star notification when you receive new email within Mail.app.

Question is following:
- When receiving new email in my In-box, Mail shows a red star in the icon in the Dock, like iChat etc.
- When receiving new email which the is rerouted to a sub-mail-box, I do get a notification as preset (sound in my case) but there isn't this red star.
So if I am not around, I do not hear the sound, and so I have to bring Mail to the front in order to see if there is new email.

Is there a way to get this fixed?
Thanks.

No problem.

There's also Mail Count X: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13540

and

The Unread: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13683

They each allow you to place the number of unread mail messages in the menu bar. I prefer The Unread and it uses less CPU cycles and memory. The developer has also been very responsive to my requests.

Enjoy!

I prefer the red star in the Dock icon, instead of another icon in my full menu bar. But thanks anyway for these alternatives!

Seems Mail doen't support it any more since 10.4.1 update.
