Looking for mailwatch app

I'm currently using a very hacked-up old version of gkrellm to
monitor my mailboxes. I don't want to maintain it (and there
are problems with fonts I've never figured out), so I'd like to
replace it with something else. I want a separate
indicator/button and commands for each mailbox. It looks like
I can do that with multiple xfce4 mailwatch plugins (one per
mailbox), but there are a few problems I haven't solved:
1) I can't tell which icon is for which mailbox. I guess I
could create a set of my own mail icons that include the
mailbox names.
2) I keep my panels hidden, which means I can't see the
mailwatch icons. Maybe I can create a separate panel just
for the mailwatch plugins and leave that one showing.
3) In gkrellm, the indicators include the number of new mails.
I think I'm going to miss that feature (but I can live
without it).
I'm going to continue playing with the xfce4 mailwatch plugin,
but was wondering if there was another GTK or XFCE app that
people suggest for watching mailboxes (it needs to support IMAP
w/SSL, Maildir, and mbox formats).
