Guide Review - MailCall 2.2 - Mail Checker

Announcing new mail in a number of ways (a OS X menu extra would be nice, though), showing a mailbox summary, previewing whole messages, deleting mail directly at the server: MailCall does it all, and it does it in a fine and easy to use manner.

It's a pity this useful little app doesn't support Web-based email accounts. A check interval adjustable per account would be nice, too, and filters would be marvelous. More importantly, though, MailCall is a solid and useful mail checker.
