DockStar ReviewElegant and unobtrusive - Version: 2.1, 3/3/2008 07:27AM PST

Well thought out and well implemented utility that does exactly what it claims to do (a rarity these days!) I happily handed over my ten bucks.

DockStar ReviewGreat Little App - Version: 2.0.3, 12/18/2007 01:30AM PST

DockStar is one of those shareware apps that does what shareware is supposed to do: make your life a little easier or more enjoyable. To be able to glance at the Mail icon in the dock and see what mailbox receives new mail is not only a timesaver, but just cool in general! For $8, well worth it.

DockStar CommentaryOutstanding in every respect - Version: 2.0.2, 5/9/2007 08:59AM PST

Fellow Macintosh and VersionTrackers:

Once in a great while a little shareware application pops onto the radar screen. DockStar is just such an application.

Get it.

If you're like me and have a multitude of e-mail accounts (work, family, friends, volunteer organizations), you need it.

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the developer. I just think that this little shareware app kicks butt.
