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??

Could be but now sure what to do to install this as a Gadget after
unzipping? I have downloaded and unzipped, now what?

Thanks

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

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!!

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
