Pop3 Mail Gadget?

Is there a Gadget that will check my POP3 Mail on my ISP in the same way as
the "GMAIL Checker" does (that is one great Gadget!)

I can't see one on the "Get More Gadgets" page but maybe someone has one??

Not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Thanks, but that one seemed to lock my Gadgets Bar up and had to remove

Good question...I dropped it in the folder where gadgets are stored but it
doesn't show up in the list of gadgets.
Bob

Rename the zip file something.gadget
Then open it.

Thanks that worked. Just in case others want to try, you need to turn on
Extensions for known file types Via CONTROL PANEL/APPEARANCE &
PERSONALISATION and then the folder options. Rename the .zip to .gadget.
When you double click, it puts the Gadget into your ADD GADGETS folder and
you install it from there

Thanks I learnt something!!

Every hour is a new Vista experience!

Umm, I spoke too soon. This was the same gadget as a previous poster
pointed me to and again, this doesn't seem to like to my Pop3 mail server as
it needs to use Port 995, not the normal 25.

sigh
