POP Peeper notifies you whenever you receive an email message. It supports POP3, IMAP and webmail accounts, including such popular systems as Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Excite and Lycos. But more than just that, the tool lets you send messages directly from the client. The application has an easy-to-use interface and the fact that it can automatically import account configurations from other mail clients helps you a lot.
This email notifier is highly configurable. For example, it can issue different types of alerts, such as playing sounds, showing desktop alerts, opening the program’s main window or starting your default email client. Likewise, you can set how often the tool checks for new correspondence. It’s also possible to configure what parts of the messages to download: headers, contents or the whole message. Although originally thought as a notifier, the application now includes other features that allow reading and sending messages as well as downloading attachments. Moreover, it can store your contact’s addresses.
All in all, POP Peeper has the main advantage of supporting multiple types of email accounts. Also, it’s a very small application that you can also run from any external storage device. As it supports plugins, you can install other features as well. Unfortunately, the tool is still far from being as functional as other more sophisticated email clients, which, by the way, support issuing alerts when a new message arrives.
v4.3.0.2005 [Sep 5, 2016]
* Many changes to enhance and correct DPI settings:
Initial window width is defined as 800 and will scale with DPI; previously, the minimum width was 890, but variably larger based on dpi (e.g. >=150% dpi)
Default Mail column widths have been re-assessed and now include DPI and font size for calcualtions
New "Use optimal column sizes" option on right-click header (account and mail); this will also be prompted after changing font
Main statusbar panes have been resized based on DPI
Account List can now be twice as wide as before
Desktop Alert fonts are resized based on DPI
Options lists are resized based on DPI (several locations)
Toolbars are resized based on DPI (Main, Message, SendMail, AntiJunk)
New graphics for many of the message list icons to better support resizing
Other miscellaneous graphics are resized based on DPI and/or available column sizes
Additional HTML Zoom levels have been added (300, 250, 175)
Custom HTML Zoom
Option windows: The list window now matches the height of the options-page window and list window now has 3D look (both were inconsistent depending on DPI in previous versions)
Tray Icon: will scale correctly for DPI; other changes to enhance legibility including a different font, no "3D" look on the color background, and the text color will always be either white or black
* New "notes" page for Accounts (edit account to access)
+ The "friend" (smiley) user flag will now only be applied when the sender is in your Address Book and not just white listed; this should make the icon more significant; to revert behavior: main menu: Tools / AntiJunk -> Settings / White List (advanced)
- A new method is used for HTML zoom that allows the zoom to occur before displaying the content instead of after (this can be significant when loading slow, remote images); related: navigation sounds are disabled
- For Hotmail IMAP with IDLE, POP Peeper will keep-alive the connection every 2 minutes (server address must be imap-mail.outlook.com)
- Server Info contains more information such as: last time successfully connected to account, last time error, text of last error, number of consecutive errors
- "Online" button is available on upgrade window to allow convenient access to the version list online
- AntiJunk: *@esumsoft.com is included as a default whitelist entry
- Fix: AntiJunk: Spam-reporting: In some cases, including multiple recipients in a single service may introduce extraneous characters into the field
- Fix: AntiJunk: Spam-reporting: When using a specific account to use for spam-reporting, the status would not get updated to indicate that the message has been reported (ie. whistle status)
- Fix: After re-activating Pro, the message list would not immediately update to reflect AntiJunk status (colors, filters)
- Fix: Certain types of emails that used relative URIs could cause POP Peeper to hang
- Fix: PPtweaker: Troubleshoot / IE emulation did not set emulation value correctly
- Fix: IMAP accounts that are disabled will no longer engage IDLE (note: accounts already in IDLE that are changed to disabled will not disconnect)
- Fix: Spell-Checker: The typographic apostrophe character (e.g. � - 0x92) is now considered the same as the ascii apostrophe (e.g. ' - 0x27) for better compatibility with languages like French that may use it
- Fix: In very rare cases, the default method used to play sounds may cause POP Peeper to hang, this can be fixed under main menu: Tools / PPtweaker; Troubleshooting: don't allow simultaneous sounds (enable only if necessary)
Skin Notifier v4.3:
- Fixes long-standing issues with DPI:
Most significantly, images will stretch to match DPI
Text will now fit as intended
- Optimizations to load skins more efficiently
- Default position is now bottom-right of window instead of center (when slider is disabled)
- Information is displayed instead of a blank white box if no skins are available
Plus Pack v4.3:
- No feature changes, version updated because some modules are affected by DPI changes
- Sent Mail Viewer: Fix in certain situation where SMV may crash at startup due to background process stopping automatically
