    Question Recommend a email prog for me please

    Ive got a few email accounts setup of which i use them all , but its a right pain to manually have to login for everyone and check can anyone recommend an app that will let me check them all in one go and sits in me sys tray for simple use ?

    email accounts i have ...

    Nildram
    Gmail
    Hotmail

    I think the prob is that they are all webmail kinda accounts ( i may be wrong ) , i use gmail notifier which aint bad but its obviously just for gmail.An app similar to gmail notifier would be great if it did all my email accounts anyone any suggestions ?

    thx

    I used Outlook 2003 to pick up my Pipex, Gmail and Hotmail (.com) emails. No complaints from me.

    I thought Hotmail had removed the ability to check email through Outlook or O.Express?

    I can't get a .com one to connect either (My account lapsed and when I re-registered it bounced my login)
    I reckon it only works with "mature" accounts

    I use Thunderbird with several Yahoo accounts being sent to it via a util called YPOPs, also my work email and I believe it can handle hotmail but you may have to check the mozilla web site to confirm

    nope its a hotmail.com one and wot ever mail prog i try ( eudora , outlook or even incredimail ) it returns a 'Authorization error' :nowords:

    p.s. ive had me hotmail.com account for about 6 years aswell

    p.p.s. found out sum info....

    Q: How do I configure my Hotmail or MSN email account to work with IncrediMail?

    A: On October 1st 2004, Microsoft blocked access to Hotmail and MSN email accounts used in email clients such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora or IncrediMail. Anyone who wishes to use a Hotmail or MSN account in any email client is required to pay Microsoft for this service.

    I've been using IncrediMail for years. It's easy to use checking multiple accounts and has a great backup/restore facility.

    NB. I still use it to access my Hotmail account. However, I think that new Hotmail accounts are not allowed to

    I think this is the software your looking for

    DynAdvance Notifier

    http://www.dynadvance.com/

    DynAdvance Notifier is an email notification tool that notifies you when you have new Email on a variety of account types, including Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, AOL, Yahoo! Mail, POP3 and IMAP Mail.It sits in your system tray and opens a pop-up window whenever you receive new Email.It also shows you a preview of the new message and automatically logs you in to your webmail account ( for some types of accounts ), or automatically launches your favorite email client.

    Is Thunderbird any good? What are other folks opinions of this software?

    Thunderbird is a cracking outlook clone (for want of a better description)
    You won't be able to pick up hotmaill for the same reason you can't with outlook but other than that it's great.

    ye ms in their wisdom decided to block pop access for all new hotmail accounts. however people who already have one should still be able to for the forseeable future.

    i use outlook 11 for pipex mail and and hotmail .. dont use hotmail tho.. just use it to reg for shit.
    only use gmail in the broser and also got notifier running. quite like keeping gmail seperate to send shite attatchments and random junk around.
