Perfect! Works as advertised; a very handy addition!

It's really nice to be able to see the mailbox by mailbox breakdown.

Clicking on a specific mailbox in the drop-down menu should open that mailbox in Mail.app; likewise, clicking a particular email should open that email in Mail.app. Instead, either action opens up a preview pane that includes all the new emails in a single list.

Checking the Growl preference brings up all the new emails in Growl but each one needs to be closed mechanically rather than close automatically after a fixed time. If you get tens of emails, this can be tedious.

"Set mailboxes" should probably be renamed "Preferences," although that is not entirely accurate either, since the preview of unread emails list is accessed in that window as well.

2 more items:

The number in the menubar does not match what I see in Mail.app.

Maybe the name could be replaced by a less unwieldy one.

Really very good menubar item ; this is a "killer app" ! Works with Growl. A must have.

The most recent version (0.6.5) crshes on launch under MacOS 10.5.3. I can't address any earlier version of MailUnreadStatusBar, but the current version doesn't even launch.

Still quits immediately after launching. I'm still using 0.46, which is the most recent version that runs.

Problem solved, it was something related with my unpack software...

Perfectly working.

I have the same problem as you did; simply doesn't work for me. Doesn't even open when I double click the program icon. And the manual is somewhat confusing to read.

Do you happen to have any advice as to get it working?

At last ! A menu bar that doesn't check only my Inbox maibox, but all the boxes I created.
All other similar apps I tried were useless for me.

Thanks so much !

This wonderful little app allows to see not only the number of unread messages in your IN box, but also those in any mailbox to which messages go automatically via your rules. It sits on your menubar, and can show the total number of new messages. Click on the menubar, and you see how many in each of the mailboxes. Preferences allow you to determine which mailboxes it checkes and how often it should do so. Doing without it seems pointless.

Recommended feature: ability to open a new mail message from within the menubar item.

Stability: In the past few updates, the app has begun quitting itself or hanging. But I do not yet have 0.4.5, only 0.4.4 (router downloading problems), so this may have been fixed.

Reference my own previous post...I should have done a bit more troubleshooting before posting. After I deleted the preference file, the app now works....sorry

I just upgradedfrom 0.4.4 to 0.4.5 and now it does not seem to work, although it did start up mail.app when it was not already running

Douglas_2 had trouble on 29 Sep 2010

Doesn't seem to work on my Mini with 10.6.4. When it checks for mail the menu bar icon just spins and spins and the Application has to be forced to quit.

Emailed developer with no response so far.

This just does not work for me. Mac OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel iMac. I load my mailboxes with messages, start this thing up (set to check server) click on update... nothing. I try off-and-on for 5 minutes, nothing. I start mail... loads all the messages that this app should have told me were there to be read.
