MBCheck

MBCheck (MailBox Checker) is a system tray application. It regularly check for mail on a POP3 account and display an envelope icon if there is new mail. Moreover, the icon's tooltip indicates the number of new mails. MBCheck also allows to launch an external program when the icon is double-clicked (for instance a mail client).

Notice: in its current version, MBCheck stores unencrypted POP3 account passwords in the Windows registry. This can be considered as a security flaw, as any program can access the registry.
