DockStar ReviewVery responsive developer - Version: 2.1.4, 9/11/2009 08:09AM PST

I have used this app for over 2 years and I would find life much more difficult without it since I monitor quite a number of email accounts for clients, some which require immediate attention. This allows me to know which one has a new incoming email at a glance.
This developer had a update for the Snow Leopard 10.6.1 update on the same day as release, and responded to my support email within minutes.

DockStar Troubleshooting ReportWhat happened???? - Version: 2.1, 11/14/2008 12:02PM PST

thestuntman
This is/was one of my favorite pieces of software I've purchased. I always knew what account had mail in at a glance... I loved it! Especially adding the menubar feature. However, somewhere along the way in a System Update, it broke. Mail would quit on launch. I tried everything to solve the problem, and removing DockStar did the trick. I confirmed it repeatedly. I thought surely they'd fix that soon and not leave paid users without for too long. But it has been many many months. Nothing.

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.

DockStar ReviewIt's beeyooteeful! - Version: 1.1, 2/14/2006 06:52AM PST

Pres!
It took me about two minutes of using this to convince me to fork over the money. This shows me the important stuff so I don't have to keep switching over to Mail to see what came in.

Among other badges, I also have it set to show me my incomplete mails in Drafts (so I might actually finish them), and a big pink heart in the middle for emails from my wife (after all, it's Valentine's Day as I write this)!

I'm totally happy with iGlasses from the same developer, and this is at least as elegant as that is.

Cool.

DockStar ReviewReally Nice/Useful app - Version: 1.1, 1/24/2006 07:24AM PST

I really like this and its very flexible. Its really handy being able to see which mailbox is trying to grab your attention. Lets you ignore the mail until you are ready.

DockStar ReviewWhy didn't I think of that? - Version: 1.0, 1/18/2006 02:16PM PST

I love shareware that makes a nifty tweak to the interface with my computer, does exactly what the developer claims it will do, and is offered at a reasonable price. DockStar meets all of these requirements.

The ability to know at a glance if an arriving message is to my work, personal, family, volunteer work, or SPAM inbox is extremely convenient. This was a very easy $8 decision.

DockStar ReviewVery nice indeed - Version: 1.0, 12/24/2005 08:00AM PST

This is a very nice add-on to Apple Mail. I like the ability to set different sizes and shapes of counts for different mailboxes. It all works very well.
