E-mail Checker What is the best program?

What is the best progam that would sit in my System Tray, and constantly check to see if I have E-Mail?Also, is there a way to get out look to sit there, and not hog resources?If you could post links and any stats you have to all the software, that would be wonderfull..

Get Gmail and get the gmal notifier, I love that program and it theres a plugin for firefox and ive not noticed any increase on demand.

I use Thunderbird with the Minimize to Tray extension, so that it can sit in the System Tray. I can configure it to automatically check the server every minute, so that I get the mails almost instantly. It's using 26200 K of memory right now, though... If there's a better program, I'll probably switch.

CheckMail (latest version 2.4.3) is a powerful but small email checking program. It uses about 2680K of memory.

Key Features

Unlimited number of POP3 email accounts

Can act as a POP3 server by collecting emails of many accounts and storing them locally

Can act as an SMTP server by collecting all emails of a local network and sending them on schedule

Custom notifications for different emails/accounts/groups/etc.

Powerful sorting options for filtering spam

Absolutely immune to viruses and other harmful email content, because it will never start any attachments, scripts, programs, etc.

Many options for full customization

It's my personal opinion, but I feel that such programs that check your email and notify you of new emails are not very helpful. They can be very distracting and disturbing especially if you receive large volumes of email per day. Of course, if you need to respond ASAP to your emails, such email checkers are great.

Being a MOD here, I do need to respond to E-Mails Quickly, so that is why I need a checker.....

That is exactly what I am looking for, thank you very much for that link....

 

Not very much of a system hog, and plenty of features, moer than I will ever use actually, And a small memory footprint.

 

One Small question, how much CPU does it use? (not that it really matters to me )

i have one sitting on my system try right now. if you use gmail, an email from google. download gmail notifier, it check like every 1minute or something like that. so im always knkow when im getting my mail.or if your on hotmail your can just log onto msn messenger and chat with your mates and when you get your email, it tells you in the corner. but i find this alot slower than gmail. maybe there are lots of users using hotmail msn around the world...

i personally just stick with hotmail its simple and easy to use and gets the job done
