However, which would you say is the best? lol.. im not a fan of installing 5 different pieces of software.. I'll take your word on it.
Pidgen is an ok IM client, but I've yet to use their email notification system...
and "The main problem with running multiple email accounts (which I admit is a BAD practice)," I disagree with that. It's pretty much a necessity with smart internet usage. There are times when you need to sign up for some crappy account somewhere (comments posting, access to files, other places likely to spam you but for whatever reason you need to give away an email address to check 5 minutes after you give it away then never again). Great, thats one complete shit email address.
Then I use one for work, which I cannot have anything non work related to. Thats 2.
#3 I use for accounts online (paypal, ebay, etc) which I do need to check, but they will send you all sorts of crap you dont need to see day to day)
#4 personal email for family, real correspondence.. You can probably combine this with #3, but not with #2 or 1
#5 I run a lot of websites, and I get both spam and real correspondence there.. Feedback on products I make several times a day as well as whatever other shit floweth in. I check it all the time, and the filters take care of most of the crap, but I dont want it coming into ruin my other mail, nor give out my same address i use for paypal etc on it.
The more email addresses the better. Spam filters are good, and email 'rules' are good, but your life is much easier with like 3 email addresses minimum. Combining any further and.. either you are going to get in trouble at work, or you are just going to be fed up after a year at the residual garbage that comes in.
I just want something that will work the same as Gmail notifier without issuing a really annoying beep every time I get a message. I've tried about 20 different notifiers and none of them has come close to be less annoying than the beep.

is a small free e-mail checker that allows you to check unlimited mail boxes for new messages. The program use system tray notification and play a WAV file. You can set time interval to check and add program to startup list. NT Email Notifier supports any POP3 email account and work under all Windows versions.
Thanks for writing this. I use POP Peeper, which is great for my four accounts, (work, home, school and misc) but the only problem is, it automatically opens up my emails so if I get spam in my inbox, chances are, I'll get 50 more just like it. Other than that, it's really great and lets me know right away in any account that I have email.
What is your opinion about Incredimail. I have one email account for personal use. Thanks
