Is there any way to set the icon in the dock for Mail to bounce only once, or not at all when something happens and it is in the background? I hate watching the icon bounce just to have it tell me that it was unable to retrieve my mail on 1 lousy attempt. Thanks.

I second this request, my school's server must restart or something every day at 4:00am and I have my mail set to check often so every day it gives me that error message saying it can't connect to the server. It also asks for my password at random times, can't seem to remember it other times, doesn't work too well with IMAP settings and a few other problems with attachments. Well I think that's it for now, I would love to know when apple is planning on updating Mail, b/c it really needs it.

Eh?

Mail in Jaguar *does* only bounce once, if it can't retrieve mail.

Because Entourage likes to bounce all day long I installed this a long time ago and am very happy:
