The Bottom Line

7way is a great mail checking utility with all the necessities, and filters. Unfortunately, 7way supports POP accounts only.
Pros
  • 7way offers flexible filters
  • Lets you preview messages and create new emails
  • 7way is easy to use
Cons
  • 7way supports POP accounts only
  • More powerful filtering options would be terrific

  • 7way checks multiple POP accounts for new mail periodically.
  • New message announcements via Windows system tray icon and sound.
  • 7way lets you preview and delete messages directly at the server.
  • Offers filters to mark or immediately delete spam and viruses, or to run an external program.
  • You can compose and send new messages directly in 7way.
  • 7way automatically dials and hangs up Internet connection.
  • 7way supports Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/3/XP.

Guide Review - 7way 1.82 - Mail Checker

Ideally, my mail checker only announces relevant new mail and deletes all the spam automatically.

With 7way's flexible filters I can almost achieve this goal. A blacklist of known spammers exists, too. Regular expression filters would expand on that ability and make 7way's filtering even more powerful.

7way's announcements, the ability to preview and delete messages and its flexible support for multiple accounts make it an all-around great mail checker. It would be nice if 7way supported other protocols than POP, though.
