Hello Ross,

This is why I joined this list.

Assuming you have Microsoft Entourage, you could do this to be simple:

Tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
connect Pop Account 1 --for POP Account 1
--connect IMAP Account 1 --for IMAP account 1
--connect Hotmail Account 1 --for Hotmail account 1
End tell

Or, the script I wrote last night and am currently still working on...

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
try
connect to POP account 1 --get new mail in my pop account
end try
set MyFOlders to every folder
set AllCount to 0 as number --running totals of unread messages, reset
repeat with MyFolder in MyFOlders
set MyCount to the (number of (messages in MyFolder whose read
status is untouched)) as number --How many unread in this folder?
set AllCount to AllCount + MyCount --Running total of unread so far
end repeat
if AllCount = 0 then
quit --we have nothing to show so get lost
else
display dialog (AllCount as string) & " new messages" --display a
little dialog
end if
end tell
