website / E-mail Issue

[ashkumar]

May be this is not right place to post query about web hosting/E-mail.

but I'm sure that I'll find answer here.

recently I've hosted my website and created E-mail accounts on the server.

Web Service provider given me SMTP and POP3 server address for E-mail.

What I want to do that like yahoo messenger and Google talk I want to configure my Mailbox so when New mail comes it appeared in messenger.

it happens in yahoo messenger and in google talk. when new mail comes immediate messenger show a message for the received mail.

I want something like that so I will be online always and as soon as new mail will come I'll see and reply to them immediate.

Please let me know if anybody knows the process.


thanks.

Any POP3 application can check your mail for you every minute. Applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express. But, if you want to use the web browser as the mail client and just be notified of new mail, you can easily find POP3 notifiers all over the internet.

PopTray Mail Notifier (http://www.poptray.org/)
Google -> pop3 notify (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=POP3+notify&btnG=Search)
Google -> pop3 check (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=POP3+check&btnG=Search)
