NotifyMail

NotifyMail is an application that sits patiently until the mail servers lets it know that new email has arrived NotifyMail was designed as a software which will notify you when new email arrives.

NotifyMail sits patiently until the mail servers lets it know that new email has arrived. Once this happens, NotifyMail can tell your email client to check for mail, play a sound, or run an application.

NotifyMail is a new mail notifier; it works in cooperation with your server to notify you immediately when new mail comes in. It is not an active checker like your email client (Eudora, Emailer, Mailsmith, Outlook Express, etc.), but a passive listener, listening for a cue from the server when new mail has arrived.

To understand the difference, imagine your house with no doorbell and no knocker. How would you know when guests had arrived or friends stopped by? One solution, though unrealistic and inefficient , would be to peep out your door periodically to see if anyone were at your doorstep waiting patiently. Most guests wouldn't stand for it; most email, however, does, for that is how mail checkers work. They poll every five, ten, thirty minutes looking for the presence of new email.
