PopMan is a POP3 manager and notifier. You can use it to list all e-mails received on your incoming mail server (POP3 server), without having to load these mails completely.
Unwanted e-mails can be deleted directly from the server. You can use it to check your e-mail accounts in the background. The number of waiting messages is displayed on the tray icon for each account.To show you whether e-mails contain useful information, or whether they are just spam, it provides a preview function.
You can use this preview pane to read the text-based content of your e-mails - whether they are plain text or HTML. In contrast to most e-mail programs, reading mail with PopMan is absolutely secure.
There is no threat of executing dangerous code or being infected with viruses. You can direct it to use local storage (settings are saved to an *.ini file), and save it to a floppy disk or USB memory stick. This means you can check your mail on any computer with internet access.
Here are some key features of "PopMan":
List e-mails waiting on your server:
· See the e-mails waiting on your incoming mail server and decide whether you want to download them to your computer.
Delete unwanted e-mails:
· Unwanted e-mails (mass mailing and other spam) can be deleted directly from the server, without having to download them at first.
Check e-mail accounts in the background:
· You can have PopMan run in the background and check your accounts at regular intervals. When new mail arrives, you will be notified immediately.
Secure viewing of e-mail messages:
· You can examine the content of your e-mails without the danger of potential viruses, ActiveX controls, or JavaScript code. HTML-formatted messages are not interpreted or executed - PopMan simply extracts and displays the text with information.
Selective downloading of e-mails:
· You can download any e-mail you choose without depending upon other e-mail clients.
