If you are looking for a desktop widget, you can try gnubiff, xbiff2, xbiff, and etc. the first one supports multiple mailbox. the second seems just support only one mailbox. the last one xbiff only support mbox. So gnubiff is most probably suitable for you. If you just need a notify program, you can also try libnotify. Use a script to check new mails and use the command notify-send to send notifications. I personally like the small and simple program xbiff, so I use a C program + xbiff + libnotify. which the C program is use to check mailboxes and then write a mbox file which could be monitored by xbiff.
