Howard: A small, yet useful email notifier for various webmail accounts

If you have multiple email accounts on different platforms then you know that it's a hassle to manage all of them. However, while there are different email applications that handle multiple accounts pretty well, most of them are not free or require intensive resource usage to manage all your accounts.

Howard is a handy little tool that lets you connect to various email providers and notify you if you have unread mail on these accounts. While the tool isn't a complete email managing solution, it becomes very handy if you need a powerful notifier that consumes little to no resources. Howard supports a large array of webmail services such as Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!, email.ru and Zoho.

Upon installation, the software is kept running in the background, sitting comfy in your system tray and scans your configured accounts at a given time interval. Howard notified you via a popup if you receive an email on any of your accounts and lets you go there with a click. Unless there's any action in your webmail accounts, the software is very silent and easy on your system's resources.

As a conclusion, if you need a handy email notifier, Howard is an excellent choice.
