Mail Help

The Mail plug-in displays the number of unread mail in your mailboxes. This is done by communicating to Mail.app via AppleScript. So it will only work while Mail is running.

Groups Preferences

Here you may add and remove groups and change the way they are displayed in the ticker.

At the moment groups will always be sorted by their name and appear in the ticker in that order.
