The Bottom Line

  • Free version lacks reply functionality
  • From address can't be changed

  • Pop3Now supports receiving and sending attachments securely.

Guide Review - Pop3Now

The more email accounts you have, the more useful Pop3Now becomes. This smart web-based interface to POP accounts lets you check up to five email addresses comfortably from one browser window.

Unfortunately, Pop3Now can't connect to IMAP accounts, too. It's good to see all connections to Pop3Now are secure, though, and that Pop3Now even handles attachments in a secure way.

While you can't change the From: address in the free version (which is useful only for a quick check of one account), subscribers can assign a custom reply-to address as well as a custom signature to each account. Pop3Now also offers a simple address book, and some spam filtering.

All in all not the most advanced, but a secure and useful mail checking service.
