Thanks for trying it out for us.

One suggestion when you are waiting for important mail, but don't want to
check at every schedule is to use a sound to notify you of important mail.
For example, 

>From is in category Work

Run AppleScript  Script xxxx

Details on using playing sounds with script can be found here:
