Check Mail

If you're frequently expecting emails and don't usually remember checking your favorite client manually every once in a while, maybe you need specialized help from dedicated software solutions.

Take Check Mail for example. It is a simple tool that performs this check for you and notifies you whenever a new message is available in your inbox.

After you deploy this application on your computer and launch it, you'll notice that it will immediately become available in the system tray, where you can easily access it by either double-clicking its icon or right-clicking it, depending on your needs.

Double-clicking the tray icon brings the main window into view, letting you view all the received messages and right-clicking it enables you to view the "Accounts," "Settings" and "Log" sections of the app, as well as closing it if you feel like doing so.

In order to receive your emails, you first need to configure a valid email account. Doing so requires that you input a name, a server, your username, a password, enable or disable SSL and defining a valid port.

However, you should know by now that the settings are usually available on the Internet and they vary depending on the email service you're currently using. After configuring the service, the program should start delivering your content immediately.

In case your inner tinkerer comes to the surface, you can access the "Settings" window of this app by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting the appropriate option from the list.

Here you can adjust the check period, reply timeout and balloon timeout values, set the app to run at startup, enable a balloon notification and load a sound WAV file to be played whenever a message is received.

If you're tired of manually checking your email, you can turn to Check Mail, a simple tray client that alerts you whenever there's a new message in your inbox. The app can be installed quickly, is easy to configure and lets you adjust a bunch of parameters.
