Pop Peeper
Email notifier that works with imap, pop and webmail accounts
POP Peeper runs in your systray and alerts you when you have new email on your POP3, IMAP (with IDLE support), Hotmail\MSN\LiveMail, Yahoo, GMail, Mail.com, MyWay, Excite, iWon, Lycos.com, RediffMail, Juno and NetZero accounts.
Send mail directly from POP Peeper and use the address book to email your frequently used contacts.
POP Peeper can be run from a portable device and can be password protected.
Many notification options are available to indicate when new mail has arrived, such as sound alerts (configurable for each account), flashing the scroll lock led light, skinnable popup notifier, customized screensaver and more.
View messages using HTML or (safer) rich or plain text. Use options to decrease or eliminate the risks of reading your email (against viruses, javascript, webbugs, etc).
Additionals plugins are available, eg: repeat every x minutes a notification sound / any command, until the user acknowledges.
There's also a premium plugins pack ($ 10) that adds an RSS feed notifier, a sent Mail Viewer, and voice notifications.

From the FAQ:
"- Why don't Imap messages get marked as read after I read them in my email client?
POP Peeper will only access the "read" status of a message when the message is new to POP Peeper. Once a message is listed in POP Peeper, the read status will not be updated from the server. This behavior is due to the additional methods of message retrieval that POP Peeper provides. There are plans to improve the behavior of the read status in a future version."
Still, there's something a bit annoying: status of unread messages doesn't change to read if I read the message somewhere else than on Pop Peeper (eg: in a browser).
This happens with an account set up with IMAP.
Being notified by the flashing scroll lock light and a repeating sound is very useful when I'm not sitting in front of my computer. :)
