MailFX is an easy to use notification software that lets you know when new mail has arrived in your inbox. MailFX is a notifier which replaces (or completes) the sound warning of Mail OS X by a graphic animation (Quartz composition).

The installation and the use are very simple.

The quartz animations can be modified (for those which know Quartz composer). You can also create your owns animations by respecting size(314 x 256) and by avoiding the too heavy images which can saturate memory and slow down animation.

An additional feature allows you (when you launch Mail at startup) to do it in hide mode. You indeed could notice that the checkbox "Hide" of "System preferences - Accounts - Login items" remainder without effect with regard to Mail.

Note:
If, after installation, MailFX does not appear in the preferences of Mail, launches the terminal and types the following instructions:

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3
