Guide Review - Express Mail@Mate 2.6.7 - Mail Checker
Most email clients can check for mail periodically, but the announcement methods are often poor. Express Mail@Mate fills this void with a highly useful pop-up notification similar to the one provided by MSN Messenger.
Express Mail@Mate can do more than that, though: you can preview and delete messages, or initiate new mails or replies in your default email client. Due to the tight MAPI integration, Express Mail@Mate needs hardly any configuration: it automatically uses the account settings of your default email client.
This comfort comes at a price, however: Express Mail@Mate will always download all messages in full. It is a great mail checker, but not suited to clean an email account of spam or viruses.
