Poppy 5.9.1 is a Email Checker product from jsonline.nl, get 4 Stars SoftSea Rating, Poppy for Windows is a small utility that you can use on your Windows PC. It will notify you when you have mail waiting on the POP3 server of your Internet provider (or Internet providers). Poppy can check multiple POP3 servers and check for new messages at regular time intervals.
Poppy needs a working internet connection and is typically used in combination with an lways oninternet connection, such as a cable or DSL connection. It can be used with a dial-up connection, but that is not very impactful.
Once you have started Poppy, you will see an icon in the so-called system tray or taskbar notification area. When Poppy detects that mail is available on any of the configured POP3 servers, it will let you know by changing the taskbar icon. Optionally, Poppy can also play a sound, execute an external software (like your Email program) or show a popup window containing a notification message.
In addition to it main purpose, which is Email notification, it can also display the headers of individual Email messages, preview the Email message source and delete individual messages from the POP3 server.
The dialog that is used to display the headers of Email messages, uses selection rule to determine which Email messages should be selected. Once these messages are selected, you can delete them from the POP3 server. The selection rules are configured using the Options dialog. This feature is especially helpfull when you receive SPAM messages that you quickly want to delete from the POP3 server.
A design goal of Poppy was to keep it as simple as possible. Only the most essential features were added to Poppy to make it easy-to-use without all kinds of bells and whistles. This approach also contributes to the fact that Poppy is small and will not interfere with your day to day work.
