With so many people working from home you could find the situation where you can’t escape from your work e-mails! Check Mail is here to help. Check Mail is a simple but extremely customisable e-mail notification tool. Among the many options is the ability to set office hours and work days so that you will only be notified of new e-mails arriving when you are supposed to be working. Perfect for those using a shared laptop at home until this all blows over.
On top of the support for home working and setting work hours there is no denying that the most popular e-mail clients out there are full blown resource hogs! When all you want to do is be notified when you have a new e-mail message you have instead something chugging along in the background using up valuable system memory. Whilst insignificant on powerful gaming machines this resource usage can have a real negative effect on your “average” home or office low spec work computer, or especially that years old laptop you’ve dug out of a cupboard. The sole purpose of Check Mail is to do away with the need to leave a full e-mail client running, instead Check Mail will notify you whenever a new mail message hits your POP3 or IMAP4 inbox and give you the option of launching your dedicated e-mail client or webmail platform. Once you’ve dealt with your new messages you can safely close your e-mail client and Check Mail will happily run using very little resource until the next e-mail arrives. Freeing up more resources for productive work (excel, web browsing, online shopping etc)
