Most people hate email clients and prefer webmail. Well I’m no different. Email clients are slow and they get stuck when you receive huge attachments they are prone to virus attacks and the disadvantage list goes on. Web mail on the other hand is faster easily accessible and has built in virus scanning and you only need to download an attachment when you really need to view it (and not always like an email client).

For those of you who use Firefox and multiple web mail accounts like Live, Gmail and Yahoo, here is a superb Firefox extension which notifies you when you receive the mails. I tried this out and its absolutely fantastic. For all of you web mail fans out there here is the WebMail Notifier Firefox Extension.

Simply add the username and the password of each of your accounts and the webmail notifier takes care of checking you mails in regular intervals (this can be set in the preferences) and notifying you if you receive any new mails.

Get WebMail Notifier (Firefox Add-on)

Now if I could just figure out how to get it to check my Netzero account and my Cox email accounts I would have it made. The support site has information on how to make your own script but it is over my head. :(
But still a cant live without extension. Saves me tons of time!!

@Mary:
If you want other webmail provider, you can make your own script.
You can find user script examples here.

Guess I am just not JAVA savvy…Any Idea where I might get some help on this?

@Mary: No worries mary, I will give it a go again, and I will tell you as well as post the info If I get lucky. This script is written with JavaScript and not Java. Really sorry that I was not able to help you.
