What do you mean, "in the corner"? There's my own Letterbox and Dane Harnett's WideMail for a three-column view...

Y'all are nuts. You should be turning OFF the little red circle, and only checking your email once an hour at most
The path of the instant-notification leads to frazzlement and perdition.

Oh, I know. I personally don't use that stuff.

I'm more a GTD guy, reading and answering email twice a day.
