thank you Dijital & SlickVic78 ..................;)

Thank you guys... PGtGM (Pop goes the Gmail) works great.

Very nice tool.

I totally dig the name of the program. "Pop Goes The G-Mail!" LOL! :lol1:

I am using Mail Notifier and it is by far the best notifier I've used. PGtGM takes up about 40MB of RAM, while MailNotifier takes about 5MB. Can your system afford the .NET framework overhead that PGtGM uses ? MailNotifier also supports multiple accounts and ,aside from Gmail support, it has Yahoo Mail support ! Hotmail support will come soon...so...you choose :)

There is a standalone program for Yahoo as well... I believe it is called Yahoo! Pops. I set it up on someone's machine a while back. It does just about the same thing that Pop Goes The G-Mail does.

Hey,

I gave mail notifier and PGtGM a try, but PGtGM aint using 40mb of my system resources at all. I did notice that is uses more memory when you close and restart the program. After checking my mail it went down to 1.2 mb used. Currently running at 5.8 mb. Highest I got so far is 8.5 mb. I'll monitor it further and check what it does.

Mail notifier is cool for checking multi e-mail accounts you might have and reports that you have new mail, but it doesn't forward your mail to your fav. mail client. Oh and I just closed and restarted Mail Notifier and it is using 7.86 mb and after sending a mail to check how it works it notified me and the resource usage went up to 9 mb. So I guess there isn't much of a difference in resource usage.

So the question is here what you prefer, being notified about mail or using a mail routing program. Both programs brilliant in it's task.

Cheers

Hey Hunted,

Thanks for testing both apps out and straightening things out as to how much resources are taken up with each app.

About pgtgm........how do you get it to retain settings? Is it normal to have to reconfigure it everytime you restart it?
