Mail Monitor 1.9.2 Beta

[RASTABT]

Mail Monitor allows you to easily monitor all your POP3 mail boxes. When you have received new mail, it can inform you with visual effects and sound. It can also launch your Email Reader. It supports an unlimited number of mailboxes. You can see your messages in the message list, and you can delete any messages from server without ever loading them. You can mark messages as read and it will not notify you about them again. It also allows you to preview messages without any risk for you and your computer from malicious viruses. The message is loaded into a text box and no scripts are allowed to be executed. This helps you protect your computer from mail viruses. If you see some unknown letters you can easily delete it if you think it is not for you.

As I read it, it looks like it's a plugin for TrueLaunchBar

Magic Mail Monitor may be an alternative - but the website is not responding, so the download (a very trim 62k !) may also be difficult.

In fact, here there are a plethora of free mail notifiers.

Now if only I can wean my friend off Incredimail, as it's the notify they like, and the rest of Incredimail is horrible bloatware/adware/spyware - and unless you turn off the junk, inflicts it's self-promotion on every message sent too ... maybe it behaves better if you buy it, but I'm not disposed to find out!

You have to be a sado-maso to use Incredimail...
