PopTray started as a little POP3 mail checker I wrote, because I couldn’t find a freeware program that had all the features I wanted. Since then, new features have been added by request. After years of refinement PopTray 3.0 has now become a full-featured, customizable, e-mail notifier, but keeping it’s ease of use.

• Show number of messages directly on the TrayIcon (rotating by account)
• Quickly preview a message
• Delete messages from the server without downloading them
