Guide Review - TickerMyMail 3.0 - Mail Checker
Stock tickers definitely look cool. But there seems to be another reason why brokers use them: they are useful. Unobtrusive yet always there, they give you the information you need when you need it.
TickerMyMail uses the stock ticker approach for incoming emails, much like The Bat! does. It checks multiple POP, IMAP, MAPI, Hotmail and AOL accounts for new mails periodically and displays them in a ticker on the top or bottom of the screen. From there, you can easily open your email program or (very useful) delete messages directly on the server.
If you get lots and loads of mail, the ticker approach does not work so well. At least the simple filter lets you hide some messages, but more flexibility and options would be nice (age filters, for example).
