You might want to check out the faces (picons) project, and in
particular the xfaces program.  It does a far better job of showing me
what mail I have waiting than I expect Gnus ever could (given the
fundemental limitations of emacs).

I don't recall where to get it, but I found it with a simple web search,
so I'm sure you can do the same.
