Thanks for your approval of my design!
I went ahead and made an interactive mockup with HTML, CSS, and _javascript_.
Since it uses CSS3, it only works with Firefox 4, Chrome, and Epiphany. (In Maverick)

What do you think?
Smooth!
Can you give more contrast to the notification? Make it reverse video (black on white), or at least a lighter brown background. This way it will be easier to spot when a message arrives. I'm not sure whether the animation alone will be enough to catch the user attention.
Also shouldn't it open to the right and cover the calendar and clock area? At least in my browser it's opening to the left of the mail indicator, which is covering the space dedicated to the taskbar.
