MailBell is a utility that lives in your system tray and periodically checks email on POP3, IMAP4, MAPI and Hotmail/MSN accounts. It can check multiple accounts and works on lans and permanent internet connections as well as with dial-up networking (where it automatically detects when you go online).
When new mail arrives the program can automatically start your mail reader, play a sound and/or display an unobstrusive notification window from which yon can start your mail reader if you like (by clicking with your right mouse button on it).
Additionally MailBell can detect undesired email based on it's senders or certain words and lets you delete it without the need to download it into your email program. You will also be able to manually delete email with large attachments without download, e.g. if someone sent you a large movie file or sound clip.
Key benefits:
* Does not interrupt your typing
* Displays sender/subject
* Monitors multiple inboxes
* Preview messages
* Delete undesired mail
