Try this new software Multi EMail Notifier. Works great with Hotmail, Yahoo, GMail, Live, Rocketmail and POP3 accounts. The best part is you can have n number of accounts from same provider and can directly access the inbox through the software so no need to login.

When downloaded from the http://www.phoenixbit.com/ website, QuickPeek contains a trojan!

Hi,
Thanks for writing this. I use POP Peeper, which is great for my four accounts, (work, home, school and misc) but the only problem is, it automatically opens up my emails so if I get spam in my inbox, chances are, I’ll get 50 more just like it. Other than that, it’s really great and lets me know right away in any account that I have email.

You can set time interval to check and add program to startup list. NT Email Notifier supports any POP3 email account and work under all Windows versions.

I didn’t find any of these clients to be very good. Multi-Mail costs $20. ePrompter and QuickPeek wouldn’t work with gmail for me. Chrysanth was large and had advertisements. Pidgin is way more than I want (I just want an email notifier).

I just want something that will work the same as Gmail notifier without issuing a really annoying beep every time I get a message. I’ve tried about 20 different notifiers and none of them has come close to be less annoying than the beep.

Brilliant.
However, which would you say is the best? lol.. im not a fan of installing 5 different pieces of software.. I’ll take your word on it.

Pidgen is an ok IM client, but I’ve yet to use their email notification system…

and “The main problem with running multiple email accounts (which I admit is a BAD practice),” I disagree with that. It’s pretty much a necessity with smart internet usage. There are times when you need to sign up for some crappy account somewhere (comments posting, access to files, other places likely to spam you but for whatever reason you need to give away an email address to check 5 minutes after you give it away then never again). Great, thats one complete shit email address.

Then I use one for work, which I cannot have anything non work related to. Thats 2.

#3 I use for accounts online (paypal, ebay, etc) which I do need to check, but they will send you all sorts of crap you dont need to see day to day)

#4 personal email for family, real correspondence.. You can probably combine this with #3, but not with #2 or 1

#5 I run a lot of websites, and I get both spam and real correspondence there.. Feedback on products I make several times a day as well as whatever other shit floweth in. I check it all the time, and the filters take care of most of the crap, but I dont want it coming into ruin my other mail, nor give out my same address i use for paypal etc on it.

The more email addresses the better. Spam filters are good, and email ‘rules’ are good, but your life is much easier with like 3 email addresses minimum. Combining any further and.. either you are going to get in trouble at work, or you are just going to be fed up after a year at the residual garbage that comes in.

All my email accounts go through GMail accounts, so I use a combination of Google Talk which notifies me about my main mail account and then the GMail Manager Firefox extension to check on my others.

tried Multi-Mail but it said Connection Error:Service Unavailable when I tried to retrieve my Yahoo email – bit disappointed as it looked just what I needed

Honestly i never have used any email notifiers
I manage all my different accounts by adding them to my common gmail account.
In gmail you can recieve emails from upto 5 other email addresses .

If you still want the YM functionality avaialable why don’t you try Pidgin? It will not only allow you to access YM, but also provide you a good email notifier. If you just need email notifications, go for either ePrompter or Multi Notifier (which is leaner as far as resources is concerned, but provides an acceptable feature set).

yes Chris, yahoo Messengers is alway on the top when I check memory usage. I dont recomment yahoo messenger for just a email notifier. Instead you can use the first notifier MultiMailer which is much more efficient.

By: Chris

Chris — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 09:00:07 +0000

Which one of these has the smallest memory footprint ? Yahoo Messenger does too much and is too ‘heavy’ for what I need (simple email notification)

By: Harishankar

Harishankar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:17:33 +0000

Multimail Notifier is my choice, and is there something thing with good spam filter included. Coz I get lots of spam more than useful emails. Only 20% of my emails are worth reading. :)
