Gbuffy, gkrellm, and the XFCE mailwatch plugin can all do that.

One more "complaint" about the XFCE mailwatch plugin is that it
opens/closes a new connection every time it polls the mailbox.
It would be way less load on the network (and both hosts
involved) if it kept the connection open and used the idle
command.
