MacBiff is a GPL'd "Biff" Program. It periodically checks your IMAP server for new email, and reports where in your folder hierarchy your new mail resides.
What's New
Version 1.1.16:
IMPORTANT: 1.1.16 is Intel 32/64-bit only and requires Snow Leopard (10.6)
or higher. If you're running Leopard (10.5), don't upgrade!
fixed a bug that caused mailbox folders to appear multiple times on
Lion (ID: 3372953)
This is great! It successfully checks my imap mail and lets me know when there are new messages via message count. It even sorts out the folders, un-read messages and more. Perfect for what I needed and very un-obtrusive. Not perfect as the colors and icon never change, but I don't need that. Love the preview unread messages feature too. That way I don't run and check my webmail when spam arrives.
[Version 1.1.11]

this rocks.
would love to see it integrate with functionality of gCount (gmail viewer... search here for more info) and ideally work as a plug-in for Adium.
There are too many POP3 checkers, and not enough work on IMAP !
[Version 1.1.9]

Much nicer on system resources compared to running Mail all the time.
I personally couldn't live without MacBiff and I use it every single day.

On AIM Mail, the all the folders just get "disabled" after the first "check". Weird!
