Well, really there are three things I need to do more than glance at the
dictionary occasionally:
1) Running scripts from schedules.
2) Running scripts from rules
3) incoming message objects
What would be nice is to be able to get a result from 'check for new mail',
preferable a boolean, so I know if there was new mail or not.

Mea Culpa...I had about three email client dictionaries open when I wrote
that...
The rule creation is cool...but then, I can't use it to run scripts, so it's
only hlf the story. The whole dialog approval thing pretty much kills Mail
and AppleScript for me anyway
