Quickhead 3.0 -- "Quickhead-E is a timesaving program that monitors your e-mail accounts and downloads the header portion of new mail in the background of your PC. When new message headers are delivered, you are notified of their arrival. Then, using the main program window, you have the options to mark unwanted messages for deletion and to preview important messages ahead of other mail."

In other words, it's a mail checker.

OK, enough with my smarmy comments.

I use NewMail by Ketil Hunn. It's simple Windows freeware. It checks multiple accounts and notifies you with a pop-up window, sound and/or flashing icon in the system tray. The pop-up window shows you the FROM and SUBJECT field, but you cannot preview or delete mail. I've used it for years.

I'll check out Quickhead 3.0, despite the sexual overtones in the name. And I'll spare telling you what I think. ;-)

Actually, it's shareware.

D'oh! I've been living in sin! Forgive me Oh Lord, for I grew lazy with the expectation of pop-up registration reminders to alert me to my transgressions.

Looks like your spambusting friend gave you an interesting link. ;)
