Aqua-Soft ForumsWhat is the use of the mail checkers ?
I have Outlook Express running all the time on my second monitor and checking mail every few min. so why a mail-checking docklet ?
[help] What's The Use Of Mail Docklets?
For people who do not have the luxury of a second monitor.
For people who do not wish to have a e-mail clinet open all the time.
Then there is the "cool" factor of checking mail from your dock.

I have a mail-checking plugin for Trillian, so it's not quite a docklet but it's the same idea... since I'm running trillian all the time, it's already taking up memory, so having the little plugin checking mail for me I find is beneficial over having the memory-intensive Thunderbird constantly running to check my mail. Plus, the trillian one only downloads the headers, so if I'm getting a bunch of spam, I can just let it sit on the server until I get an email worth reading.
That, and I only have one monitor.
I don't receive email often and I don't want to open Outlook for nothing, That why I have email docklet!
Isn't this question a bit like saying "I just bought a pizza, but I'm not hungry"???
If you don't want to use the email checker docklet, then don't!!! Nowhere does it say 'users of OD MUST use the email checker docklet' <_<
users of OD MUST use the email checker docklet (my mail-docklet btw)! It is said now, Viper.
A side-effect of this is that users of Y'ZDock may not use an e-mailchecker docklet

/me stands next to ave, crosses arms and tries to look intimidating
ok ok ok , just wanted to know if I was missing something....
OE consumes very little resources-if any-from my system. And it checks mail automatically and has the "RULES" feature that helps me avoid the tons of crap and viruses today. BTW AndreasV I'm gonna post a question in AVEapss section....
