POP3 email checker similar to Gmail notifier for Windows?

-1

Is there a free, pop3 email checker for Windows that behaves similar to Google's GMail Notifier? Minimize to Tray, and notification, double click to launch default email client?

Doesn't your default e-mail client support this (through an add-on)? – Tamara Wijsman – 2011-08-23T20:06:37.357

I'm using Mail in Windows Live Essential... no, it's pretty basic. – Henry – 2011-08-24T01:53:27.023

I've used POP Peeper for a number of years and found it quite useful. The interface is somewhat dated (as is the company's website), but it works well. It supports a variety of account types, including POP, IMAP, and a variety of web-based e-mail systems (Hotmail, Yahoo, et al).

I like Mailwasher. The free version only allows one email address but the paid pro version can have as many as needed.

oh, spoke too soon. It crashes too much on my Win 7 64-bit. – Henry – 2011-09-29T22:02:14.920

I have no problems with it on my W7 64bit, version 6.5.4 though, I refuse to upgrade, it works too good. – Moab – 2011-09-29T23:00:52.363
