Is it push as well? or is it just a shortcut? I was browsing here, post 125 and searched but I was unsuccessful at finding the app used to do this? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

It's an app called Mail and it comes on every single Mac, so you should have it on your computer. Basically it's like Outlook on a Windows computer, it fetches your emails for you and holds them so you can view them offline and manage them from a single application, and saves having to navigate to your emails using a web browser. The new mail notification shows up whenever there's a new email in your inbox, it's part of the app itself, not a plugin or anything. About Push, it depends on what type of email account you have. If it is a Yahoo account, for example, then it should appear in Mail the moment the other person sends it. For me, I have a Gmail account so I've set my Mail app to fetch new mail every minute...it's the closest thing I can get to push on my Mac at the moment.

No, there should be a program called Mail in your Applications folder, it comes on every Mac. The member in that post you linked to is using Mail, but it just has a custom icon. This is the icon you're looking for in your Applications folder, drag it from that folder to your dock and enjoy:
