Gmail compatible email clients

J

James Conway

Can anyone recommend any tiny "Popcorn-like" email clients for Windows that
are capable of connecting to Gmail? I wanted to use the freeware version of
Popcorn (v1.48), but it doesn't seem to be able to connect to Gmail; most
likely because it doesn't support SSL login.

I should mention that I have tried Pegasus Mail, and I find it to bulky for
my tastes.

Thanks

nPOP is like Popcorn.
It doesn't support SSL out of the box, but you can find a tutorial how
to use sTunnel to make nPOP gmail-compatible.
Actually I think you can use this hint to make Popcorn work with Gmail.

PS: The last Popcorn Freeware Demo (1.75, if I recall right) claims to
support SSL.

Looking for an incoming email notifier? Look no further, as you've just
found it! What's more is that you get more than what you are about to
pay for (which is totally FREE)!

Chrysanth Email Notifier is perfectly suitable to be run in the
background with a tray icon being shown and quietly scans your email
accounts for new incoming email messages, at the same time separating
the good emails from the junk emails/spam automatically.

Upon detection of new friendly emails, a "You've got mail" sound will be
played together with a little green email icon being displayed in the
tray.

Meanwhile, whenever potential spams are detected, a "You've got spam"
sound will be played together with a little red email icon being
displayed in the tray.

Other uses for this award-winning email notifier?
- A safe internal viewer lets you read an email without downloading it
to your regular email client
- support for portable devices such as USB thumb drive or flash drive
- support for multiple email accounts
- support for SSL connection
- support for Hashcash Stamp
- support for "whitelists", "blacklists" and custom filters. The filters
are very easy-to-use and can be defined by you very quickly.

Intuitive, highly customizable, Chrysanth Email Notifier is as easy to
use as it is powerful. Within 5 minutes of installing it you'll be up
and running.

Not relevant to your question, but if you eventually decide to go whole
hog, Opera gets gmail just fine. I use it all the time -- including
browser, etc.
