Mail.app tweaks: MailBadger 0.3

Since you are bit literate user on crack Mac, you probably created various Mail rules to manage incoming messages. But when e-mail overload knocks your door, it’s quite difficult to track a message count across several folders/mailboxes.

Mr. Allevato developed donationware piece of software to enhance your Mail.app Dock icon with extra counters: MailBadger 0.3.

Quick Tip!

The default set of rules in MailBadger allow you to only specify per account and/or per folder condition.

However, there’s built-in conditions editor that allows you to include all unread messages if From field doesn’t contain a specified string.

Type non-existing e-mail address and voilà!
