Mailbox Flag for His Inbox

On Thing-a-day.com one fellow geek describes his latest project:

…is a physical flag that attaches to my computer and goes up when I have new mail. First, I found biff, which is an extension to Thunderbird that proves a socket interface to poll for new mail status. Then, I wrote a little Python application to continuously poll the status and update the flag as necessary.
