ePrompter for Windows

Used ePrompter for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

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 accounts

What’s new in version 2.0

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.

Version 2 need a bit of 'nouse'
December 25, 2014
Pros
Installed in the normal way this program is a bit of a waste of time but if installed in a folder called ePrompter in the root directory (ie c:\eprompter) it works okay but not for Gmail who seem to go out of their way to stop ePrompter. Well that about sums it up. Version 2 isn't geared up to work in the normal Windows directory. Maybe version 3 will correct this.
Cons
None that I can see.
Summary
Certainly useful and especially since it is free.
TERRIBLE -- There are Better Programs Available
benisthemanMarch 7, 2014
Pros
Absolutely no pros (Looks like Windows 95? Maybe that's a pro, if you like that kind of thing. Didn't completely destroy my system? I guess that's a pro. Nice logo? That will only get you so far. It convinced me to install it but I'm really sorry I did.) I'd give it ZERO STARS if c|net allowed it.
Cons
Failed to find server, the interface looks like Windows 95. Smells like malware, it's so cheap looking, it might even have security flaws, it's so poorly put together. Relies on custom screen-savers that do not seem to work, at least where I work. Complete waste of time. Nothing but regrets.
Summary
WARNING -- Sorry if that seems harsh. Don't waste your time on this one. This program might have potential if they do more development, but there are better programs available. Recommendations / Alternatives: #1. If you're using Chrome browser, try the Checker Plus browser extension. Set it for Text notifications that never fade from sight. That's not a system tray icon but it works, and the extension is really good. Get it in the Chrome web store. #2. If you really want a Windows system tray icon, try Gmail Notifier, from gmailnotifier.com It has a flashing icon, checks Gmail once about every 60 seconds, and has basic email capabilities (read mail, mark-as-read, delete). It can't launch the browser, but that's its only real problem.
Does not work.

Eprompter is BINDED WITH A BOT !!!
bktrussNovember 5, 2012
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.
Didn't work on my PC with windows XP

nikale57October 4, 2011
Pros
None at this stage as it used to work before.

Not happy Jan

enriquebfSeptember 27, 2011
Pros
Worked very nicely in the past.
Cons
Abandoned by its creators. Dont waste your time.
Summary
Sorry to see it go to waste...
No support for Indiatimes!
Neer_jJuly 9, 2011
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.
Will not uninstall
cadpahMay 20, 2011
Pros
I couldn't find any
Cons
Says that it has been uninstalled, but is not. Not in Add/Remove list or programme list.
Summary
Acts as if it's a virus.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 20, 2011<p/>Can I just throw it in the Recycle Bin?
Didn't work
mikey1975777April 21, 2011
Pros
none--would not check my mail
Cons
does not work
Summary
Great idea, if I could get it to function properly. Sent numerous emails from one address to another, and it wouldn't register that I had new mail. Needs work.
