Yahoo Email Notifier

[PSCO2007]

I've been using this program since Yahoo Messenger discontinued notification (without any notice)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/

Every time I shutdown and reboot, it no longer works and I have to download it again.

Very annoying - have no idea why, but if anyone has a better program, I'd appreciate a link.

Thanks,

Paul

You could give x-notifier a try ...

Thanks Maxie,

I've got that installed - doesn't work.

Sorry about that just read the Reviews .. Know any thing about Fastest Notifier ...

 

[PSCO2007]

What do you mean?

Are you saying you don't know about Fastest Notifier or is that the name?

Just Googled it, but says not compatible with my version of Firefox, which is the latest.

 

[maxie]

Yes that is the name i do not know any thing about it ...

PopPeeper email notifier

If you don't mind installing a program rather than a firefox add on try:

POP Peeper - Email Notification

Leave it running and specify the message check interval and notification options.

Thanks Callender,

I installed it but am having some problems with it -Is it supposed to give a pop-up when a message is received?

I don't want to keep opening the program to see if I have a new message.

Disregard above - just set it to give a pop-up.

I just tried to send an email to myself, and it says "error":huh:

Might have to do with settings - not sure.

Now Yahoo email seems to be offline - I'll try later.

Yahoo is back and I sent an email to myself, the program did not notify me even though I set it to give an alert.

 

[PSCO2007]

This is the strangest thing - I uninstalled the program because it screwed up my email sending ability.

Now, it informs me of new messages!!

I used Revo advanced and thought it got everything.

It looks like I'm stuck with Yahoo email Notifier and will have to constantly download it after reboot.

Any other suggestions for a notifier are welcome.

Thanks to all who tried.

Paul

Pop Peeper issues?

Sorry for the late reply. I never had any issues with it. As for running on demand it does allow email notification at any time even if your browser is not running. I never used it much to send emails preferring to log in to email accounts the regular way for sending purposes. The only thing I can think of is yahoo pop3 and imap settings might need tweaking in your yahoo account settings. It's been a few years since I used ymail!

Anyway if you removed it and don't want to use it then ignore the above!

If you like I can set up a new ymail account and see if I get the same issues.

From PopPeeper FAQ:

My Yahoo account returns an error when I try to send mail.

The most common reason for this error is because Yahoo is requesting you to verify a graphic image in which you have to enter the sequence of letters and numbers displayed in the graphic; this is commonly referred to as a "captcha." If you log into your Yahoo account, send a message and then validate the captcha, POP Peeper should be able to send messages again.

Thanks again,

It was just too much of a hassle - worked intermittently, if at all.

I found this program and it works on all browsers, and also works for Yahoo email.

The only problem seems to be that it is preventing Sleep.

I'll have to fool around with the settings, but otherwise it seems to be good program.
