Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Keeping track of several e-mail accounts can be annoying. Thankfully, ePrompter's bare-bones yet effective approach helps you solve this hectic problem. Utilizing an uncluttered interface and stone-simple setup, ePrompter does one thing and does it well. You can set the application to check up to 16 password-protected e-mail accounts, including Hotmail and AOL. Notification consists of a flag in your system tray--color coded for each different e-mail account--and a choice of five screensaver options. When you get a new message, you simply click the icon and start reading. Composing a new e-mail or responding is just as easy. Though it's not jam-packed with features, we have no problem recomending ePrompter to anyone with multiple e-mail accountsPublisher's Description
From Tiburon Technology:
ePrompter automatically and simultaneously checks and retrieves your e-mail messages from up to 16 password-protected e-mail accounts, such as AIM, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, Yahoo Beta, Gmail, POP3, Earthlink, Excite, Juno, Email.com, Lycos, Mail.com, Mindspring, MSN, MyWay, Netscape, Rediffmail, SBC Yahoo and hundreds of other e-mail domains.
ePrompter not only lets you compose, forward, and reply to your retrieved messages, but also gives you the ability to delete unwanted spam or suspicious-looking mail without having to launch your e-mail program or having to go to your Web mail's site. And, importantly, when ePrompter retrieves messages, it leaves the original messages on your various email accounts' servers.
ePrompter's notification features include a unique rotating tray icon and a choice of five screensavers that let you know at a glance the number of new messages in each account, as well as audio alerts for new messages. Version 2.0 employs auto-upgrades so that regardless of the version of ePrompter you download from CNET, it will be automatically updated to the most recent version of ePrompter after one use of the program.
What's new in this version: Version 2.0 employs auto-upgrades so that regardless of the version of ePrompter you download from CNET, it will be automatically updated to the most recent version of ePrompter after one use of the program.

"Eprompter is BINDED WITH A BOT !!!"
Version: ePrompter 2.0
Pros
NONE - This will make you join a botnet
Cons
Phones home upon installation and periodically afterwards to a known C&C server (141.8.225.13)
https://palevotracker.abuse.ch/?ipaddress=141.8.225.13
Virustotal shows 0/43, Anubis says it clean. This is because it is crypted to prevent Anti-virus from detecting it and it has Anti's to prevent it from executing in a virtual enviroment or a sandboxed enviroment to prevent reverse engineering. But if you install and watch the firewall logs, as soon as you install and continually afterwards it will phone home to the C&C for instructions. 16 computers in my network started a DDOS attack bogging down the whole network. We downloaded from all the third-party sites that host this and all of them do the same, so it's obvious this was done by the developer.Summary
This is probably there is countless reviews of people not being able to uninstall.

"Do NOT Install | Program Does Work | Hard to Uninstall!"
Version: ePrompter 2.0
Pros
No Pros AT ALL: I used to use ePrompter and loved it (way back when) but it is apparently no longer being updated. The final upgrade/update of ePrompter download SR120 was released on 8/29/08 and the Pop Peeper program is vastly superior in all ways.
Cons
Unfortunately the program has apparently been abandoned by the developer Tiburon Technology.
Summary
The program installs OK but then just sits there on the taskbar not functioning properly but worse yet; not even warning the user that there is a problem. Also it was a nightmare to uninstall. Said that it had been completely uninstalled, but it actually was not. It was no longer in the Add/Remove list or program list and left lots of junk files in the Windows registry (that I had to painstakingly remove manually).
On the developer's support forum the Admin asks for "Patience and hope for devoted ePrompter users waiting and want to help fix ePrompter." However the program is no longer being updated (the final ePrompter download SR120 was released on 8/29/08) and no longer functions properly so it is not a worthwhile download IMO.
On the bright side of things, I tried out and currently use the Pop Peeper program; which is vastly superior to ePrompter in all ways. I have attended many computer-related as well as freeware-related forums over the years and I have yet to see any major bugs, security flaws etc. reported or even a single 'credible' negative review of Pop Peeper.

"No support for Indiatimes!"
Version: ePrompter 2.0
Pros
America oriented
Cons
America oriented. Except for Rediff, no other non-American, non-1st world, non-white-people-type email service provider supported. Why?
Hey Brasilians, South Africans and other 3rd worlders, do you see YOUR EMAIL SERVICE PROVIDER IN EPROMPTER?Summary
The version available for download on CNET is of 2005, for Christ's sake!!! This is 2011!
6 year, apparently abandoned. No support for Indiatimes.
Outdated, obsolete, a dinosaur in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. -
