I have used applescript notifications extensively as a customizing feature of my mail notification. My favorite was setting up an email account that was solely for receiving messages from my cell phone. My script recognized the subject line as a command and would activate other scripts or applications when the mail was received. Since my phone could interpret a speech command as a dialing shortcut, instead of dialing a number I had it send a message with the the appropriate command in the subject line. In this way , mail can be used as a remote voice activated computer controller! Thanks for the tips!

Saying that, I've been trying to create accounts in mail.app, or find a plug-in, that will import the emails from the local email server supplied with MacOSX (the one accessed by the system command line mail application) with no success. Tried to reference apple.com, net-snmp.org, postfix.org and could not find a solution. I know alternative solutions exist, i.e. squirelmail, but it would seem convenient, if not logical, to include access to it from mail.app. Feedback welcomed.
