email notifier

J

Jim Scott

I used to have a very simple email notifier. All it did was to open a
little box in the lower right of my screen with the header(s) of any
waiting mail. I could then choose whether to open my mail client or wait.
I have lots of stored email notifiers, but all offer so many choices I
would be better leaving my mail client to do.
Any idea what I've lost (and where to get a copy)?

i use magic mail monitor
http://mmm3.sourceforge.net/
it doesnt list the full headers: just sender, recipient, subject, date,
size, which is enough for deleting most spam.
ciao, j.

You're not the first to recommend this, but I have never got it to run on
my pc.

Hi Jarek,

one of the best POP3 Tools is the POPTray:

It has also filters, white-ist/back-list feature, ....

Yes it is good, but you might as well use your email client.

Jim,

Try Simple Check...I think it's exactly what you want. The author
still has an older freewaare version on his site:

Getting there :blush:)
Simplecheck is not as simple as it claims and is like several of the
others ie a warning box AND a results box in the middle of the screen.
I'm going to see if I can get magic to work.

Dave I've tried 23 different notifiers this weekend. Poppeeper and Magic
don't want to run via localhost, which you need for Avast virus
screening, and which I am not going to change.
The nearest I get to my wishlist is Poppy, for simplicity and size.
However, whichever I use, I still need to open my email client somewhere
along the line, so what's gained? Maybe I should just leave my email
client open after all!

So you tried Poptray and was not satisfied? Did you play a little wuth
the options? Like the list of emails when it notifies? You can view
the messages there and delete them from the server and even reply.

I just love it

It's not that I was not satisfied, it just uses as many resources as my
email client, so what's the advantage?
Apart from that Thunderbird has Bayesian spam analysis, not good yet, but
better than everything else around at the moment.

I did just change to Thunderbird from Outlook recently. I was using a
free add on Spambayes to do the bayesian filtering in email.
Thunderbirds filter works fine for me because almost all of my
legitimate mail is in finnsih and spam is in enlish. Quite an easy
criteria to delete spam :)

i like Poptrays per sender notification sounds and the ability to
preview messages. I have not noticed it would be a major resource hog.

I'm using "new mail". It's only 57k, uses hardly any resources
and let's me know when I have new mail. It will check hotmail accounts
as well as POP accounts. It's freeware and is at:

http://www.myhome.no/newmail/

I tried but it uses slightly more memory than Poptray and has
singnificantly fewer options. Back to Poptray
