Others have mentioned turning off "animate icon" for mail notification; that's good as far as it goes. The icon can still bounce, however, if you get some kind of error, such as a temporary outage at some ISP that keeps you from getting mail. If, like me, you check mail every 5 minutes, and don't want to bother turning off the checkbox in the account to include in Send and Receive All...you can disable all Dock icon bouncing with "Dock Detox." Run this app, and the icons won't bounce until you restart. Put Dock Detox into your Login Items and the bouncing goes away forever.
