Guide Review - Talking E-mail 4.0 - Mail Checker

Reading is great, but if you have the chance to have something read to you, would you let it go by? If you've secretly cursed having to read email on that computer screen, Talking E-mail may be for you.

Talking E-mail uses MS Agent technology to read whole emails to you. Or just the headers. Or as much as you want. Using Talking E-mail's many options, filters and rules, it can be configured to read only the messages you want, and only those parts you want.

Unfortunately, Talking E-mail only supports POP accounts and can do little else with email but displaying and reading it. For example, the filters cannot be used to automatically delete messages.

All in all, Talking E-mail is a nice and easy to use way of reading email, though.
