FastCheck will let you verofy your FastMail.FM mailbox in the background and notifies you when you receive new mails.

Here are some key features of "FastCheck":

· Folder list is automatically downloaded from FastMail.FM, so you wont make any typo!
· You can monitor as many folders and accounts as you want!
· If you have a direct connection to the Internet, IMAP is used to connect to FastMail.FM, which means that you will be immediatly notified of any incoming e-mail!
· If you send yourself an email from the FastMail.FM web interface, you will often notice that you get notified before you return to your inbox!
· If you do not have a direct connection to the Internet (typically, youre at work, behind a firewall), FastCheck still works, and automatically polls for new e-mail every so-often. Proxies requiring authentication are supported.
· FastCheck system tray icon displays the number of unread messages waiting in your mailbox.
· FastCheck configuration can be stored in the Windows registry, or in a .ini file, whose location you specify. This gives you greater flexibility if you do not have administrator privileges on your machine.
· You can tweak it and tell it to ignore certain messages, or tell you who sent you the messages... All this in any scripting language you fancy!
· FastCheck is modest: when minimised, it hides itself in the tray bar and doesnt take any room in the task bar.
· You can tell FastCheck to acknowledge some messages so that it doesnt keep nagging you that you havent read one message.
· FastCheck fits on a floppy, so you can easily bring it to your favourite internet cafe.
