I've been using this little freeware program for some time now and I really like it. I know a lot of you have web-based email addresses for privacy purposes so I thought you might like using something like this instead of having to surf to your online account to get your mail. This program also works with your POP3 account, too. I think it's a great little freeware program...

ePrompter

ePrompter™ is a free email retrieval and notification utility that automatically checks up to eight password protected email accounts for AOL , AltaVista, Earthlink, Email.com, Hotmail, Juno, Lycos, Mail.com, Mindspring, Netscape, POP3, Rediffmail, Switchboard, USA, Yahoo, ZDNetOneBox and hundreds of other email domains - all at the same time.

ePrompter™ features a unique rotating tray icon, and a choice of five unique screensavers that let you know at a glance the number of new messages in each account, which you can easily read and/or delete online or offline with the click of an icon. It's extremely easy to set up and use. Get the free download for Version 1.04 (SR 4) exclusively now from CNET!

I should have added that this is a Windows-based program:

Windows 95/98/NT/2000, AOL 5.0 or 6.0 (for automatic AOL dial-up)
