Can anyone recommend a background email checker app?

[FlyingPenguin]

I use IE but I don't want to leave that resource hog running all the time, however I do want to know when I've got new mail.

So what I do right now is I use Netscape's little Mail Notification taskbar backgroup app. It's very small and is no performance hit on the system HOWEVER it's not perfect.

It has a nasty habit of forgetting my email password. I'm prompted at least once a day to re-enter it. This is REAL annoying.

Can anyone recommend something similar? I need a small footprint app that runs in the background and gives me both an audible and visual (some kind of taskbar indicator) alert that I've got mail in my POP3 server.

Thx...

if you have ICQ running all the time like I do ...
You can set ICQ to check your POP3 emails and inform you when you have mail
Thats what I do ... kinda like Netscape tho....not perfect
