Guide Review - Mail Forward for Mac 2.6

Everybody has a Hotmail or a Yahoo! Mail web-based email account. Not everybody likes accessing them only through the web interface.

Many have multiple POP email accounts. Many don't like having to check them all manually.

Mail Forward for Mac can help both groups of dissatisfied users. It allows you to forward up to 20 Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo! Mail or POP accounts to any other email address (where you can access them all easily with your email client). The comfortable scheduling function allows you to automate the process, and you can even use Mail Forward in AppleScript.

A nice addition to this already great utility would be a simple POP server that allows Mail Forward to work as a gateway between your email program and the supported account types.
