I have noticed with all version of Mail I believe that if the application is  
hidden, sometimes it will go for hours and hours before letting me know that  
mail has arrived.  Is there any way I can make it more important for it to let  
me know mail has arrived?  For instance, I have had my computer on for days.   
But Mail just now notified me that I have 9 pieces of mail that have come in  
over the last three days because I had activated it just then.  It is like the  
app gets swapped out and doesn't get a chance to run.  Is there a workaround?

Thanks!
