Description
-----------

Mailbox Verifier (MV) is a small free software that will notify
you about new messages arrived to your mailbox. The number of
mailboxes MV can check is unlimited; it works with the POP3
protocol and can't deal with web-interface mailboxes and
IMAP-servers.

Besides, MV is very flexible and easy to configure. MV is familiar
with many popular mail clients and never conflicts with them. You
can check for new messages either manually or automatically with
any time interval chosen. New message alert can be combined from
blinking program icon in tray, sound alert and/or pop-up window as
you like. MV is tactful enough to disable window pop-up while screen
saver is running, and can hold back from attempting to check mail
when there is no Internet connection.


Installation
------------

Important! If you've got Mailbox Verifier not from our web page,
but from the other source (magazine CD or some software library),
please visit our home page - you'll probably find the later
version; usually, we release the updates about once a month.

To install Mailbox Verifier, just run the "setup.exe" and follow
the instructions. You'll need to select the target directory
and the components to install.
