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.
