Hi,
I am looking for an application which will sit in the system tray, check multiple pop3 mailboxes at predefined intervals, pop-up / notify when a new email is received. Any recommendations for such an application ?
On windows desktop I have been using *Magic Mail Monitor* & *PopPeeper*. Both are brilliant applications. Now I need something similar for my linux desktops.
Thx Sandeep

Which desktop manager do you use ? There is this ultra-cool web page that I visit when I want something like this[1].
There are thousands of these things all over the net (a lot of them with 'biff'[2] or notifier in their names). If you use GNOME you might want search for your distro's package which includes this: http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/

ROTFL. I suppose then lookout express does neither.

I suppose you never heard of kmail on a kde desktop.

Lookout express is a full email program like thunderbird. What the OP wants is a light weight POPper.
Here is what I would do. make a gmail account, go to its settings, then accounts and import tab in it, you can add upto 5 email accounts there (if u need more make another gmail account!), then get one of the few gmail notifiers available. You can also add labels and filters in the gmail account to keep it organized in there...
Hope this is a small useful trick!

Also check http://specto.sourceforge.net/ Came across it on another LUG list last week and seems like a wonderful app to have. It checks for updates not only for emails but also websites and more.

I use the Mail krell in gkrellm, which displays when and how much new mail is available in my inbox(es). Of course, gkrellm also does a gazillion other things, so it's standard on all my desktops.
There were also a couple of other apps that would actually show you selected information (e.g. Sender, Subject, etc.) from new messages in a pop-up, but I found that quite irritating and have conveniently forgotten the apps' names.
