Mail Fx

If
you have ever seen the movie Disclosure, with Michael
Douglas and Demi Moore, you had probably noticed the
cool mail icons that appeared on Michael Douglas's
computer in his office and wondered if there is any
way to get them for Apple Mac Mail. Well now there is
and the great news is that it's free. A program
called Mail FX will float icons
and play theme songs like Star Trek when new mail
arrives and I have to say that it's a fun addition
to Mac Mail.
There are so many additions to Mac Mail like
Stationary pack and Dock Star that I have to wonder
why Apple has not incorporated more bells and
whistles into Mail. Well I guess it doesn't matter
because there are enough third party developers to
write small apps for Mail and when you come across a
gem like Mails FX, specially when it's free, you want
to spread the news.
You control Mail FX from the Mail preferences pane.
You have the options of icons, themes and the
duration the icon appears on the screen. I have to
admit that I didn't need this program but it's a lot
of fun to use and a welcome addition to Mail. You can
visit the site here and download
Mail
Fx which is Leopard ready.
