    Hi,

    I am looking for an application which will sit in the system
    tray, check
    multiple pop3 mailboxes at predefined intervals, pop-up / notify
    when a new
    email is received.
    Any recommendations for such an application ?

Which desktop manager do you use ? There is this ultra-cool web page
that I visit when I want something like this[1].

Gnome.

Googling since an hour, but not much help. "

Couldn't find the quoted reply.. Who sent it in?

What exactly did you google for ?

http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+mail+notification http://www.google.com/search?q=gnome+mail+notification http://www.google.com/search?q=mail+notification+in+gnome http://www.google.com/search?q=i+want+a+mail+notifier+for+gnome

The first result for all of those is the link that I sent you in my reply !

Even /these/ gives relevant results: http://www.google.com/search?q=mail+popup+thingy+in+linux (2nd http://www.google.com/search?q=mail+popup+thingy+in+linux%0A%282ndfreaking result !!!)

http://www.google.com/search?q=i+want+a+mail+notifier+for+linux http://www.google.com/search?q=i+want+a+mail+notification+applet+for+gnome

and dammit ! ..even these exist:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Magic+Mail+Monitor+for+linux http://www.google.com/search?q=PopPeeper+linux (again, the *second* result mentions the very same app, I sent the link to in my reply)

<rant> If there's something more annoying than an idiot who makes mistakes is an idiot who would tries to cover it up with bulls**t rather than admit to it when the mistake is discovered !

It has to be one of these two: a. You are trying to cover up the fact that you *did not* google b. You are too stupid to use google even

Which is it ?

Gah !!

</rant>

(I am sorry, just in a bad mood today ! ...but seriously ...??)

cheers,
