I use Gmail for work and corresponding with family, etc. but I also have a Hotmail address that I use for online purposes, forums, games, etc.  I was wondering if anyone knows of some sort of e-mail notification program that will tell me when I have new mail in my Hotmail account.  Gmail offers a "Gmail Notifier", a small .exe program that I have set to START up with my computer and RUN in the taskbar at the bottom right CORNER of the screen.  It changes colors when new mail is received, short and sweet.  Is there anything like this for Hotmail, either officially produced or from the community?  I searched through a few websites, and they were either gimmicky websites shoving advertisements down my throat, or the programs were browser-based.  I use Firefox, but what I really want is something that checks e-mail without needing a browser open.

I would be happy to have the Hotmail messages forwarded to my Gmail account as WELL, but they don't seem to approve of that ^.^Try this. POP PeeperFantastic, exactly what I wanted and then some.  Thank you very much.Your welcome.
