New mail notification using the PowerMate
Authored by: asan102 on Mar 16, '04 08:48:01PM

The easier and better way to do this is simply make an applescript that sets the powermate pulsing (or pulsing +1 if you want) and set it to launch every time you receive a new message (choose Any from the pop-up when setting up a new event). It's easier because it doesn't require the terminal, and better because it uses less system resources by taking advantage of mail's built-in way of doing thing, rather than launching a script every 5 minutes or so.
