Announce incoming Mail message senders
Authored by: Fairly on Jan 29, '08 09:29:19AM

But the messages are already downloaded by then. Hardly a help. What you should do is use your connection (POP, whatever) to just download the headers and then you announce whatever you want.

Announce incoming Mail message senders
Authored by: joshforman on Jan 29, '08 09:53:10AM

I believe the point is to tell you what the email is without having to switch to the mail app and possibly switch to the Inbox. If you're expecting an email, you'll know instantly if it's the one you want. That certainly sounds helpful to me, though, I suppose a Growl could also do the job.

Announce incoming Mail message senders
Authored by: porkchop_d_clown on Jan 30, '08 05:32:09AM

If you're constantly getting a stream of emails, having it announce when you get something important can be a big win.

I basically set up a Mail rule that only says the name of the sender if they are in my address book. You could easily extend that to only say the name if the mail is going to a special folder or soe on.
