Another USB gadget popped up recently. This time it’s the turn of the USB Email Notifier to impress us all. The USB Email Notifier looks like he familiar envelope that you see when an email arrives in Outlook. The device attaches to your PC via a USB cable which provides the power and signal needed to illuminate the envelope in blue, red or green whenever a message arrives.
The problem I would have is that the little envelope would be flashing like a strobe light with all the email I get through per day 🙂 If you have a busy mail box like me then it probably wont work for you. However, if you only get a few emails per hour or day then this could be a nice little USB gadget for you!
USB Email Notifier Features:
* Webmail Notifier connects to your private email account when you can not, and let’s you know what is going on!
* Webmail Notifier works in the background to inform you every time you receive a personal email and even the capacity of unread emails!
* No battery require
* Soft Illuminated Blue, Red, Green indicator
* Webmail Notifier supports : gmail, yahoo, outlook, outlook express, POP3
* Easy operating software
* Powered by USB with 4 feet cables
* Every new mail will be associated with a sound
* Compatible with Windows Vista / XP / 2000

I see that it works with Gmail which is cool but I wonder if it will work with Google Apps as well.
Dont buy one, the software is crap. Had to put mine in the bin after the second day trying to get it to work!.
I second that, the software is garbage! I got one thinking it would be handy, then ended up not being able to use it because of the junk software. I was hoping it would have a plugin for mail clients but it needs to store your login and password itself.
