Download POP Peeper 3.1.0.0

Mortal Universe Software Entertainment released version 3.1.0.0 of Pop Peeper a few days ago. This program runs in the Windows taskbar and notifies you when there are new e-mail messages. There is support for both pop3 and smtp, and a host of web-based services, including Gmail, Hotmail and MSN, Yahoo, Mail.com, MyWay, Excite, Lycos and RediffMail. POP Peeper only shows the headers, making it easy to delete unimportant emails before they are retrieved by an email program. Unfortunately, no junk filter has been added in this release yet, this stands for version 4.0 Scheduled. However, in version 3.1 ssl/tls support for imap has been added and a lot of bug fixes have been implemented:

New Feature:

• IMAP supports SSL/TLS

Changes:

• Installation has option to install SSL plugin
