This isn't quite in with the IMail thing, but have u considered running POP3
notification utilites? There is one that comes with ICQ, Netscape, and even
a couple of free ones. All they do is sit in the System Tray and tell you
when you have a new message come in. (I even developed one a while back...)
I am making the presumption here that they are PCs we are dealing with. I
assume similar utils exist for the Mac, I just don't know for sure...
