When we're away from our computers, most people feel obliged to check their email, whether it's at their local internet café, by borrowing a friend's computer or simply by taking their laptop on holiday.

However, if you have more than one POP3 account, it's often tricky to set up another person's email client to handle email from multiple sources.

Also, it's tricky trying to set up webmail for each account, as you need to remember the URL, username and password for each account.

POP Peeper is an email notification tool that will run in your Windows task bar and alert you when new email has arrived at your POP3 (or online) email account.

It supports multiple accounts, so you can see email from Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail and many others.

So instead of taking your laptop on holiday, simply take a Flash drive with a copy of POP Peeper and keep a check on your email from source.
