This e-mail notifier will help you with all your mails alerting you when you will have a new one on any of your Hotmail, POP3, Mail.com, MyWay, Yahoo, MSN, Lycos.com, RediffMail or Excite accounts. Maybe you will want to read or delete one of your mails, well, that will be possible too. Let’s take a look at this quick article and see what features POP Peeper offers to its users.

Installation

POP Peeper is an easy to install and free application. You will download it in a few seconds and after a quick installation process, you will have access to your emails. You would be happy to know that Pop Peeper supports all versions of web-based email providers such as Yahoo, Hotmail, POP3 and many more. It works with literally all versions of Windows from ‘95 to Windows 7 and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Interface

POP Peeper certainly has a friendly user interface. It offers you a wide range of customization allowing you to choose wherever you like to keep your configuration and data files. You can make POP Peeper portable too. After you create your first email account, the main interface window will appear. If you choose to have more than one account, you can view them all at the same time or one at a time. The interface has a panel on the left that provides information about your configured email account. You can easily view the time until next sync or the number of unread items on the status bar placed at the bottom.

Pros

POP Peeper works efficiently and fast too. With this application, you can even read or delete your emails. Having included HTML email, you can always see your email as they come into your email client. The viewing options have the general operations like forward, reply, print and the possibility to navigate from the message viewer to the next or previous messages. For decreasing or eliminating the risk of viruses, webbugs or javascript, you have a few options available. For your safety, you can password-protect your account or the access to POP Peeper. The application has the ability to scan your messages before opening your email client for you to delete the ones you don’t want to read.

POP Peeper can import CSV files, thanks to its Address Book loader. If you’re interested in the source of any message, you can easily view it by viewing the complete header information. You can easily send, save and open your file attachments from POP Peeper too. What about email notification options? You can customize your notifications giving to each email account a personalized sound or to any new email a sound of its own. For every account, you have a tray icon notification that displays the number and color of the new messages. To know which account received a new mail, a windows popup will alert you. For retrieving email from IMAP and POP3, you have an SSL plug-in available in the application that allows downloading. Thanks to the Idle IMAP feature included at every new email arrived, you will be notified accordingly.

Cons

What I didn’t like about POP Peeper is the lack of filters in sorting out the spam emails. And maybe some changes to the announcement window and interface elements would be great.  

Alternatives

Some alternatives to POP Peeper include the following email tools: Google Notifier, Mail Notification, Notify, Gmail Notifier, PopTray and many more.
