YMail Notifier
Description:
Adds a little status-bar icon that notifies you when you get new Yahoo! Mail. Click on the icon to change the frequency of checking and other settings. When new mail arrives you can choose to be notified with sound, a sliding alert (Windows only), or by running an external application. When there is no mail, the status-bar icon dims itself.
Features:
(See screenshot.)
- Change the frequency at which it checks for new mail.
- Choose between being notified with sound, a sliding alert or by running an external application (like an email program).
- Works immediately out of the box.
- Does not clutter the screen when Auto-hide mode is enabled, which hides the mail icon until new mail is received.
- Specially designed to minimize memory usage and network overhead.
- Add an optional toolbar icon for more visibility.
