"Email checker"??

I have multiple emails accounts all over the place but I usually just check my main Comcast email because I don’t normally get any in the other ones. When I do get some, they're important for me to see (ie. school email, gmail)

However it’s a pain in the ass to look up this stuff all the time just to see nothing so I was wondering if there is such a thing as like an “Email checker” that could send alerts to my main email notifying me about other
email accounts?

To me it sounds something that is probably unsafe but still I wish there was something out there or am I dreaming??

Sorry I don't know technical terms..."email checker" was the best i could do

You could just set up Thunderbird (or outlook) to check all of the emails for you on your main computer (including your comcast email). Then it's all in one program.

You could also forward your email to your comcast email, though you would have to make sure to not mark things as spam that came from one of those accounts, because comcast would think it is your server that is spamming.

I definitely suggest checking out thunderbird, and just checking all your email with that. Or set up Gmail to get mail from all of your accounts.

I use The Bat to check on my most important e-mail accounts, 37 in all, and just check on the others when I think of them. The Bat is not free so that may not be an option for you.

You could also use a program like Mailwasher to check on multiple accounts but that one is not free anymore. I use to use one of the latest the free version, and I still have it, but could not be bothered with it anymore.

I would suggest searching for e-mail programs that can check multiple accounts.

There are PHP scripts that can check your pop mail accounts and at least give you a number of how many emails are there. I used a script like this on the home page for my mobile device so that I could see at a glance how many emails I had.

I just looked at thunderbird so I'm going to check that out a little bit more, see if I like it. Plus the rest of what everybody said.

Thanks!

If your email program does not allow for multiple email accounts there is always Hamster. TGL-Soft: Freeware (http://www.arcorhome.de/newshamster/...amster_en.html) Various English Links on MGK Hamster pages
