Bounce Mail in Dock when New Mail arrives?

So I'm migrating over to Mail after 14+years on AOL mail and I'm wondering if there is a way to have the Mail application icon in the Dock bounce when a new email arrives, similiar to the way the AOL one does?

Hello DuQuoi,
Just saw this message today when looking for an answer on something for myself and thought I'd respond. So sorry for the late response and if you've all ready found an answer, but at least for others looking to perform a similar action when new email arrives.
This can be done with a simple rule. I have mine set to "If all conditions are met", "Email is in <My Mailbox Name>", "Message is addressed to [email protected]" then "Bounce Icon in Dock".
My spam goes to a different folder on my email account so spam isn't caught by this.

  • Apps bouncing in the dock when they aren't opened in Mavericks

    Why are applications bouncing in the dock when they aren't open.  I've had this happen with two different applications.  The only way to stop it is to do a restart, which seems like overkill.

  • How do I turn off auto focus/open/maximize when new email arrives?

    If I have mac mail minimized, when a new email arrives, it automatically maximize/open it and focus on the mail window.
    This is really annoying. It started happening with recent updates. Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off?
    thanks.

    How does one disable auto-opening a blank document (either open blank OR template chooser) when PAGES launches?
    You can't. You will always get a new document or the template chooser depending on what you have set in the preferences. I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team regarding this. You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

  • Sending notifications to offline users when new emails arrive

    Hi,
    I need to develop and application that would send a notification via SMS to users whenever new mail arrives to their inboxes.
    One way to do that would be to periodically check each subscriber's account for new mail.
    Are there any other options?
    Thanks.

  • I opened Google Chat in a tab and pinned it as an App Tab, but the App Tab does not "glow" when new message arrives in Google Chat.

    I am running Firefox 4.0.
    I opened this page for Google Talk (http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/client), signed in, and initiated a chat with one of my contacts.
    Then, I pinned the tab (containing the above chat page) as an App Tab.
    According to the documentation for Firefox 4, when the contents of an App Tab's page is changed, the corresponding tab is highlighted.
    However, when a new chat message arrives in the Google Talk page (that corresponds to the pinned App Tab), the tab is not highlighted.
    App Tab highlighting works for Gmail, and other web pages (i.e., when other web pages are pinned as App Tabs the corresponding tab is highlighted when the contents of the page changes), but App Tab highlighting does not work for the Google Talk page. Is this a bug in Firefox 4?

    Thanks for the quick replies.
    @cor-el: I think you are correct ... App Tabs do not glow when the content of the page changes (which would result in the tab "glowing" when a new Google Talk message arrived) ... but App Tabs only glow when the tab title changes.
    I thought about writing a java script (to be used with greasemonkey) to change the tab title when a new message arrives in the Google Talk page .... but the Google Talk page looks like it's Adobe Flash.
    I know that there is a "beep" when a chat message arrives, but I wanted some kind of visual notification (like the glowing App Tab) when a message arrives (because my computer is playing music and I don't hear the "beep" when a message arrives).
    Any suggestions for getting a visual notification when new Google Talk chat message arrives?

  • Tabs show up / Firefox "activates" when anything changes on an open tab (e.g. when new email arrives)

    I've recently updated to FF 18.01
    When I have my email tab open (Gmail) and I'm working in another tab (or even a different program) and a new email arrives (or chat) my email tabs "opens"/"activates" whilst I'm working in Excel for example.
    It seems to do this every time any activity happens in my email....
    Anybody an idea what could be causing this to happen? It's very annoying....
    Thanks

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Lost quick reply text when new message arrived

    I was typing a quick reply to a notification of an iMessage message when a new message arrived. The notification for that message was immediately displayed, losing the text of my reply.
    Is this normal? Should I report it as a bug?

    This is a known issue.

  • E72 no alert/vibro when new SMS arrives

    In all profiles, when SMS arrives there is no alert or vibro. At least in General it is set with SMS alert.
    Strangely enough if I sent an SMS from the web (i.e. not a phone) it alerts/vibrates.
    It seems if I got sending number in my contacts it wont alert / vibrate.  
    What might be it? 

    Nina, this is a persistant problem that happens to some and there is no generally applicable solution for it.
    Try quit and restart your mail, that sometimes brings it back.
    If not log out and back in?
    If not reboot.
    You can check if it is back by simply checking for new mail. If there is no new mail, it should also give a small ping. When you hear the ping all the sound is back.
    Do you have multiple user accounts active on that Mac and use "Fast User Switching" while the Mail program is open? This may cause it sometimes.

  • Exchange 2013 CU2 - Mailbox Databases and Active Sync - update when new item arrive

    Hi,
    Maybe it will be a silly question but I don't know what exactly is going on. We are running Ex2013CU2 Evironment (1 CAS, 2 MBX Servers with 4 Mailbox Databases).
    User mailboxes are in MDB01 and they are allowed to connect to mail via activesync and everything is working great (I mean that auto notification on mobile when item arrive is working).
    When we move user mailbox to another database ex. MDB02 -> "auto notification when item arrive" does not working, but manual synchronization is working great.
    Does anyone have any idea why it is behaving like this or what should I check to fix this ?
    Thanks.

  • Bouncing Mail icon

    Hi,
    I feel silly- but I know someone out there knows this in a New Yors second!
    I have a MacBook Pro - everything the latest. With "MAIL" - it used to be when I receive an email - the little icon in the dock bounced, along with the sound effect.
    I zereoed my HD - reinstalled everything fresh - and now . . . NO bouncing icon.
    I was kinda getting to like him, bouncing around excitedly - I feel like I've lost an old friend!
    Anybody know how to get it to bounce when new emails arrive? Everything else, is fine. Is there a preference somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Hi Ferd,
    Thank you for your response. It seems you are EXACTLY CORRECT! I hae a friend who works for Apple - if you're curious, he said this . . .
    "Add a rule in your Mail preferences that can either be global for all new email or for specific emails. You can have it ignore the unimportant ones. The rule can be: if new mail received, then bounce mail icon in dock. As for sound that should just be the General preference for New Mail. You choose which system sound to use. Sometimes system sounds get funky, especially when using other sound sources sound editing/hacking software. This causes all system sounds to stop. You may notice trash not emptying or iChat not being audible for incoming/outgoing messages. To fix this, you need to open Activity Monitor app and force quit the coreaudio process. It'll auto relaunch and your sounds should be back.
    Hope this helps,
    M"
    And this basically completely agrees with you! Thanks again - problem solved!

  • How do i set up my iPhone to chime when a new email arrives? right now, the chime only works after I tap the mail icon

    How do I set up my 4S phone to chime when a new email arrives?  Right now, the chime only sounds after I tap the mail icon.  I need an alert to check my mail.  Comcast mail.  Settings for mail set at "fetch new data". Thank you

    Try if this works for you
    1. Tap Settings on Home Screen
    2. Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    3. Tap on Fetch New Data
    4. Turn "Push" to On
    5. Back to Mail, Contacts, Calendars again
    6. Under "Advanced", make sure that it is set to "Push" for all your mail accounts
    Push means the server will literally push the mails to your iPhone whenever there is new mail. Fetch like the word says is where you have to manually update to receive new mail (what you are doing now)

  • E72 Mail doesn't appear when a new mail arrives.

    Hello,
    Having a strange problem occurring on some of my E72's, i have around 60 of them in my business currently and we are soon to have around 150 of them, so i really want to get this ironed out.
    What happens is, i set up the phone to sync with my Exchange 2003 server OTA.
    It's set up to be connected constantly so that when a new mail arrives in exchange it arrives in the phone.
    Every-things fine; email, contacts, calendar, to-do. 
    Accept certificate permanently.
    Mail flows in, contacts flow in e.t.c e.t.c.
    Randomly, around 10 or so users E72's just stopped receiving mail automatically, as soon as i open up MfE they flood in, but whilst the phone is on the home screen, nothing. 
    Bearing in mind i have set these phones up all in the exact same way and haven't touched the configuration since then.
    The last guys phone that broke, he's had it for about a month all working, went on holiday to Gran Canaria, all working, came home... not receiving mails automatically.
    Any help? similar problems?
    Thanks,
    James.

    How do you have your inbox set to sort the messages?  If you want new mail on top you should sort by date in descending order.
