# Mail

"Mail" will show the number of unread messages in Mail. You can configure which mailboxes or folders you want to monitor.

To open the "Mail" preferences, follow these steps:

1. Open Universal Ticker.
2. Choose "Universal Ticker" > "Preferences".
3. In the "Sources" category choose "Mail".

Mail.app has to be running for the source to work, since it uses AppleScript to get the necessary information.

# Query

Choose how often you want to see the mail count.

# Groups

Create one entry for each group of mailboxes that you want to be counted together. You may select a different color for text and background for each group. The last column shows a preview for your color settings.

# Mailboxes

This is a list of all you mailboxes in Mail. Choose the desired group for each one.
