What email notifier do you use?

I've been using x-notifier. It works fine for email but the inconvenience is that it displays ads whenever a web page is visited. The ads often covers part of content and makes it hard to read.

Have you tried using AdBlock to get rid of the ads? I've found that works pretty well, not sure whether or not it would work for that though.
If you write your own rules you can block arbitrary crap content in the browser. :cool:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I actually wrote one: it notifies on the internal intranet whenever a mail comes on the external mail box. It is an exchange agent installed on the external server, written in C#. On the intranet I use MS-Outlook notification (the little icons in the notification bar)
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Yes, as the name implies; electronic mail, not an immediate message. You could ask the same for mail versus telephone - if you don't need an answer right now then don't call. For the recruiters, the answer is ruder: don't ever call again.

but I think the "electronic" part of that does imply "immediate" ;) How or if you choose to be notified is a completely different thing I think.

Does your fax-machine "notify" you? :) I consider it disruptive. It kills the flow, it breaks concentration. It also opens conversation, which might be a good thing - but it's general counterproductive when you're busy refactoring.
I don't have a fax machine now. I can recall years ago in the "dark ages" having a physical fax machine in the office where I worked, and yes it effectively would notify you due to all the sound it made. When a fax came in you'd hear it. So yes, there was built-in audible notification you could say :) Certainly whether or not you want notifications is a personal preference; but there's nothing inherent about Email that would imply a notification or a lack of a notification. Its just a user preference. Obviously the OP wants the notification else they wouldn't be using the tool in the first place :)
