CheckMail is a handy tool that monitors your email accounts and notices you whenever you receive a new message. This nice mail checker also adds a bit of security to your system and to your personal data, as it lets you preview the messages before actually downloading them to your computer, therefore enabling you to avoid downloading infected ones that can spread viruses on your system. By surpassing the need to download every message it also helps you save bandwidth and eventually, money.
CheckMail is quite a powerful and comprehensive tool that comes with plenty of handy features, including the possibility to compose and send new emails or reply to or forward existing ones directly from its interface. One of its main advantages is the fact that it supports checking and monitoring multiple email accounts. Any unlimited number of POP3 email accounts can be dealt with. Anyway, POP3 is not the only mail standard that this nice application supports. It can also act as an SMTP server and collect all emails of a local network and schedule their sending.
I also like its nice sorting and filtering capabilities that can help you easily put spam aside or simply organize your emails. The fact that the notifications can be customized with ease is also a nice touch in my opinion. To sum it all up, CheckMail is a handy mail monitoring tool that does a good job at helping you keep a close eye on your e-mail accounts.
