A portable simple mail notifier

Submitted by b0rgy2K9 on August 11, 2009 - 10:55am

Hi, I've coded a simple unread mail notifier, and was wondering if you guys thought it's worth to beta test it here. The program is fully portable (uses an ini file, no registry access except for run at startup option.) and was coded in Delphi 7 using the Indy Project . Download here: here (about 350kb) I'm not sure about Vista compatibility, could someone please verify this?

Hi,

I'm an software author from Rizone Technologies and is in the process of developing many portable applications. All fully portable and all freeware. However, I need people that can test these tools for me and give some feedback. Or if you really don't have time, download them and use them.
