You can use Growl to display a non modal alert (you can change Growl's
preferences if you want the alert to stick on screen or not).
Growl can also be configured to log notifications:
- stop Growl from it's System Preferences pane
- type this command in Terminal.app:
defaults write com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp GrowlLoggingEnabled -int 1
- start Growl from it's System Preferences pane
With Mac OS X 10.5 or later, to view Growl logs relative to PowerMail:
- in Console.app, create a new log database query (command-option-N)
- Query name: Growl PowerMail
- [Sender] [contains] GrowlHelperApp
- click "+"
- [Message] [contains] PowerMail: (

"When Google Desktop was released I immediately downloaded it. I was
hoping to find something better than FoxTrot.
What I found was that it didn't find many files that FoxTrot does
find, and that the indexing process was uncontrollable, and it brought
my Dual-Core MacBook Pro to its knees. The computer was almost unusable
while it was being indexed.
I understand that they have brought out a new version, but I have
deleted it from my disk (and have turned off Spotlight indexing in the
FoxTrot preference panel).
I don't often need an indexed search of my disk, but when I do, FoxTrot
is hands down the best."
