I think you need a mail notification software, I know two very good one 
(depending on what protocol you need):

The one I use actually:
http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/

This I used before (no recent update):
http://gbiff.sourceforge.net/index.php

To launch it on Xfce start, just put a symlink to the executable in
~/Desktop/Autostart for Xfce 4.2 release or put a .desktop file in
~/.config/autostart for a 4.3 version.

My .desktop file for mail-notification:

# This file was automatically generated for the autostart
# item mail-notification
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/home/gege/.config/autostart/mail-notification
Hidden=False
Terminal=False
StartupNotify=False
Version=0.9.4
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=mail-notification
