Managing multiple email accounts can be a chore, especially if the accounts are from different providers. POP Peeper offers a solution to set up and manage your many accounts from one place. Automatic Mail check is also enabled by default.

POP Peeper's uncluttered interface places the essential email options to create or respond to messages on a fully customizable Tool Bar. You will have to do some manual work to get your accounts setup but there is plenty of user guidance to help you get started and it handles nearly all of the most popular email services, including Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail. By default, you'll see a notification icon on the taskbar when new mail comes in. You can add a sound or opt to see more information about who the email is from and what the subject line is. When you double click on the Tray Icon, you can quickly check your email, open the program or run your email client.

Installation was easy, but we found it left some Start Menu icons behind when it was uninstalled. If you don't mind these minor issues, POP Peeper's user friendly approach makes it easier to manage multiple accounts from one place.

Get email notification software!!!!
lexcurrency10/22/2015
Pros
I have GoDaddy email and use Windows XP and GoDaddy workspace email notification software has recently stopped working for Windows XP. With POP peeper I have it better now than it was before.
Cons
NO CONS. Does what it says it will do and straight to the point, no fancy stuff.
Summary
Great software, very nice email notification system. Does what it says it will do.

Pros
If you have several email accounts, POP Peeper allows you to monitor all of them easily.
Cons
Not always easy to set up; sometimes misfires
Summary
It does what it is supposed to do
mhzayer11/29/2013
Pros
supports almost all emails
Cons
Couldn't manage to set up fastmail.fm
Summary
Exactly what I was looking for
Bikerplumber8/25/2013
Pros
It works as good or better then I hoped it would. A visual and audio notifier. It does much more then I need but I'll practice with it and probably find there is more to it that will be very useful. I looked long and hard to find the right notifier that I would be satisfied with and this is it.
Cons
Now the bad part: after I installed it I had Delta search hijack my google chrome. I couldn't get rid of it so I downloaded a malware remover that appeared to be FREE but wasn't. So after uninstalling it I couldn't get to any sites without it blocking me. I ended up paying windows help $100.00 to clean everything up. It took days to clear up this mess.
Summary
After all this I have POP Peeper working , free of any problems and I like it very much. Now just maybe it was a coincidence Delta Search showed up at this exact time I installed PP, but I'll never know. At this point I don't care because it works great and does everything I wanted it to. I would highly recommend it.
Wouldn't want to do without it!

Pros
Cheery fella :)
Cons
Sometimes gets fussy and takes its time coming to tell me a message is there, could be my computer though never know.
Summary
My personal number one of all free software
cnetjantje1/2/2013
Pros
small, safe, easy and features to collect webbased e-mail without having to deal with overcrowded screens and advertisement. A great tool I use for safe viewer e-mails which I dont trust and to notify me of new arrived e-mail in both pop and webbased accounts. Highly personal changeable ui. Great way to view possible infected e-mails without getting infected.
Cons
no spamfilter but then again I dont expect one in a notifieying tool.
Summary
My personal champion of all offered free software tools since the year 2000. The best if you are looking for a clean light simple pop and webbased e-mail arrival notifier.
Of a few I tried, this one worked for me
howardferns10/8/2012
Pros
As a notifier, it works, with a change in the tray icon and a sound.
Cons
When it notifies of new mail it's no good just going to your webmail, you MUST open the messages on the app itself because until you have done so, the tray icon will continue showing you have new mail. Thus you might fail to notice something newer has come along. I found no way to mark messages as read, I had to open them even if I didn't want to (like if they were uninteresting, or I'd already read them in my webmail), and they could only be done one at a time. The same applied to deleting them, I could only do them one at a time. The icon of a mailbox has little meaning to those from countries outside of the USA.

MadMan19718/1/2012
Pros
A fully customizable email notifier/client.
Cons
A little technical to set up.
Summary
I'm definitely donating to the author!!!
Couldn't work out how to get it to do what I wanted
wendyjames15/23/2012
Pros
free to download
Cons
All I wanted was an icon on my task bar, telling me how many new yahoo emails I had. Don't know if it was me not being able to work out how do do this or the software but gave up.

Other features include portability, password protection, an address book, viewing in HTML (or rich/plain text for security), open/send attachments, separate polling intervals for each account.

With IMAP's Idle command, you will be notified of new e-mail as soon as it arrives in your inbox.
