Guide Review - ePrompter 2.0 - Mail Checker

I admit it: I want the things around me to look good (not necessarily nice). This also applies to my desktop, and it is why I gave ePrompter little chance of staying there long upon first sight.

But ePrompter has survived this first sight with its useful interface. The tray icon shows how many new mails are waiting in which account, and the program's main window lets you do the important things fast: previewing and deleting new messages.

The other great bonus that ePrompter has is its support for a wide variety of email accounts, including POP, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail and AOL, too.

Now if ePrompter had the option to filter incoming mail in a flexible manner, it'd be even more useful than it is already.
