TickerMyMail

Some people check their email once a day, others several times a day, others still check it every fifteen minutes or more often. If you are of the latter variety, TickerMyMail will help you to know what is happening in your mailbox up to the minute.
TickerMyMail is a mail informer that checks your email accounts at regular intervals to see if you have got new mail and if you have, it runs your mail program (such as Outlook Express, Eudora or any other one) and displays information on new messages in a ticker on the top or on the bottom of your screen. The bad news is that TickerMyMail doesn't download your mail but just runs your email client so you have to check mail in your main mail program as well. The good news is that TickerMyMail supports several email accounts, can run on startup, hide in system tray and is really useful if your work or private life depends on how quickly you get your mail and respond to it.
Try this mail informer today and you won't spend all your time online hitting the 'check mail' button any more.
