ScanMail is an expansion on CheckMail, another app by Alien Seed Software which notifies you 
when you have email waiting at your POP server. ScanMail offers many exciting new features over 
CheckMail including the ability to view mail headers and preview incoming mail. Additionally, 
all of the anomalies that were present in CheckMail have been resolved.

Breakdown of features:
 * Polls your POP server (mailbox) for incoming mail at a user defined interval
 * Safely remebers all your different mail accounts so you don't have to type 
	them in each time.
 * Sits in the taskbar while minimized, you don't even know it's running until 
	mail comes in.
 * Plays a user defined AVI movie or WAV sound when new mail is available
 * You can see who the new mail is from, what the subject of the mail is, or
	even preview the message from ScanMail.
 * In the registered version you can "Finger" the sender of the message or 
	anyone else, that is request information about him or her if available 
	from the machine on which that person has a mail account.

You may ask why a mail-notification utility such as this is useful.
 * Mail clients such as Eudora, Outlook, or Netscape are BIG programs and they
	hog system resources. You don't allways want to have these programs 
	running, ScanMail is pretty small and uses few system resources while 
	lending a great amount of functionality.
 * Some mail clients don't poll your mailbox at as great of a frequency as you 
	might like. ScanMail will check your mail as often or as infrequently 
	as you like, and notify you the instant that new mail is detected.
 * You may have multiple mail accounts, ScanMail can remember them all.
