This is a unique program that elsewhere you would have to pay for. This program will check up to 20 different email accounts (via POP3 access) and then merely report back the number of emails waiting. It has a HUGELY smaller memory footprint then any email clients, so if you are short on memory -- this is your program. It will check email on a timed basis that you control then either play a sound, execute a program, or just pop a timed dialog (for 30 secs).
