eMailMyIP

eMailMyIP is a lightweight Windows freebie that can send you an email whenever your public IP address changes.

Pretty helpful if you’re doing a lot of remote work and your ISP changes the target computer’s IP address at every connection, eMailMyIP doesn’t offer any hard to configure options.

Instead, it adopts one of the most user friendly approaches on the market, bringing the essential settings exclusively. This means that it should all take just a couple of minutes before you’re able to use the app at its full potential.

The interface is plain and simple, showing the IP address and letting you email the IP with just a click.

But the configuration is much more important because this one lets you define the email sending interval and the mail accounts you wish to use. Of course, you need to know the SMTP server, the username, the password and the port, while you’re also required to input “from”, “to” and “comment” information.

eMailMyIP is not at all a resource hog and it works quite fine on all Windows versions. Administrator privileges aren’t required on Windows 7 workstations.

As a conclusion, eMailMyIP truly serves its purpose, but further improvements are clearly necessary. There are only a few configuration options and a basic interface, so advanced users expecting much more than that may look somewhere else. Still, it’s a decent app for anyone who wants to stay up to date with a certain machine’s IP address.
