There are so many free Web-based e-mail programs available —Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and others— that many people use multiple ones. That’s certainly useful, but it can be painful as well. It means manually checking each account multiple times throughout the day; a productivity-killer, if there ever was one.
EPrompter solves the problem neatly. It automatically checks all of your Web-based e-mail automatically every 15 minutes, and alerts you when any has new mail. You’ll be able to do this for up to 16 different accounts. In addition, you don’t even have to log into the different Web-based mail systems in order to see your inbox, read your messages, and respond to them–you can do all of that from directly within the program. You can also delete mail as well.

Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000
Because Gmail is Web-based, it suffers from one very annoying problem: It doesn’t integrate with Windows. So you can’t just right-click a file to send it via Gmail, as you can with most desktop e-mail clients.
gAttach solves the problem. Install the software, and from then on, whenever you right click a file an choose Send To –>Mail Recipient, it will create an e-mail in Gmail and attach the file to it. You then open Gmail (if you haven’t already done so), finish creating the message, and send it on its way. You can set the program up to either log you in automatically whenever you attach a file, or instead have you log in yourself manually via your browser. It’s much easier and convenient to have the program log you in automatically.
