Use Speech to announce new Mail messages
Authored by: Glide on Apr 24, '04 12:54:43PM

I have mail.app in my startup items and set as hidden so it simply runs in the dock at all times. That way it can poll automatically without me having to fire it up every time to check my mail as well the window won't be in my way or inflating my dock with a minimized window. The original post of the script will simply activate the window (if it's not already open it will open a new one). Unless ram is VERY scarce I see no reason why anyone wouldn't want to keep it running in this fashion. Give 'er a try and see if you like it. But yes if it isn't running at all then it will open mail. Which is rather necessary to get your mail anyway unless you use something else to poll for pop3?
