Herald

Software Description

Herald is a notification plugin for Mail.app, Apple's Mac OS X email client. Inspired by the excellent Mail.appetizer plugin, Herald shows you popup notifications whenever you receive new Mail.

It also allows you to perform common actions directly from within the notification window, including deleting messages, initiating replies, viewing messages in Mail, or marking messages as read.

Herald's appearance is highly customizable, allowing you to change the background color, text color, size, shadow, transparency, and position of the window. Herald even provides a scrolling text view so you can read full messages without having to switch back to Mail.

Herald is a free download and requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Note: Mail plugins are not officially supported by Apple. While Herald has been thoroughly tested, it's possible it may cause unintented conflicts with Mail or with other unofficial Mail plugins, especially after OS updates.

It's recommended that you backup your computer before installing Herald or any other Mail plugin, and always before installing any updates to Mail or OS X.

Key features:

- Quick Action Toolbar. Easily perform actions on messages: mark as read, view in Mail, initiate replies, or delete right from within the notification window.

- Customizable Appearance. Adjust window size, style, font, position, color, shadow, and transparency.

- Enable Specific Mailboxes. Enable notifications for all mailboxes or only specific mailboxes of your choosing.

- Message Grouping. Messages are grouped into a single notification window to prevent clutter. Flip through messages with a single click.

- View Full Message. A scrollable message window means you can view your full message without having to switch to Mail.

- Automatic or Manual Dismissal. Configure Herald to dismiss notifications after a set period of time or stay on screen until the window is clicked.

- OS X 10.7 Lion Compatible. Fully compatible with the latest version of OS X.

Once Herald is installed, open Mail and go to the "Mail" menu and choose "Preferences..." From there, click the little arrow icon in the upper right and a dropdown menu will appear with Herald as one of the options. Click that and you will be brought to the Herald preferences.

Keep in mind that by default the Herald notification window only shows up when Mail.app is in the background (i.e., when Mail is not the active application). You can change this setting in the preferences.
