Guide Review - E-mail Talker 3.70 - Mail Checker
Checking, and certainly reading requires that you look at the screen, no? No.
E-mail Talker can check multiple POP and MSN Hotmail accounts and announce new messages to you vocally. It can even use any MS Agent character to read complete emails to you, while you're cooking, for example.
Unfortunately, E-mail Talker is not very selective about what to read. You can define simple keyword filters to exclude some spam, but that's not flexible enough.
E-mail Talker is still useful (and fun): to announce new mail by reading the headers and the time by its name, and by occasionally reading one or the other complete email, maybe.
