Is there a free, pop3 email checker for Windows that behaves similar to Google's GMail Notifier? Minimize to Tray, and notification, double click to launch default email client?

Doesn't your default e-mail client support this (through an add-on)? – Tom Wijsman Aug 23 '11 at 20:06
I'm using Mail in Windows Live Essential... no, it's pretty basic. – Henry Aug 24 '11 at 1:53

I've used POP Peeper for a number of years and found it quite useful. The interface is somewhat dated (as is the company's website), but it works well. It supports a variety of account types, including POP, IMAP, and a variety of web-based e-mail systems (Hotmail, Yahoo, et al).

I like Mailwasher. The free version only allows one email address but the paid pro version can have as many as needed.

Its a keeper... – Moab Aug 23 '11 at 23:28
oh, spoke too soon. It crashes too much on my Win 7 64-bit. – Henry Sep 29 '11 at 22:02
I have no problems with it on my W7 64bit, version 6.5.4 though, I refuse to upgrade, it works too good. – Moab Sep 29 '11 at 23:00
