PopMan offers you features, that are missing in most email programs:

• List emails lying on the server
  See which emails reside on your incoming mail server and decide, whether they shall be downloaded to your computer or not.
  
  
• Delete unwanted emails
  Unwanted emails (mass mailing, spam) can be deleted directly on the server, without having to download them at first.
  
  
• Check email accounts in the background 
  You can make PopMan run in the background checking your accounts at regular intervals. When new mail arrives you will be notified immediately.
  
  
• Secure viewing of email messages
  You can examine the content of yor emails without careing about dangerous viruses, ActiveX controls or JavaScript code. HTML formatted messages are not interpreted or executed - simply the text containing information is extracted and displayed.
  
  
• Selective downloading of emails
  You can download every email you choose, without depending upon other email programs.
