"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:
- Open Universal Ticker.
- Choose "Universal Ticker" > "Preferences".
- 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.

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.
