Product Description:

Wouldn't it be great if you could delete unwanted e-mail or spam BEFORE it reaches your e-mail application? Or delete messages with large attachments without downloading them to your computer first? Or get rid of viruses sent by PC users?
Well, POPmonitor lets you do just that!
With POPmonitor you can take a peek inside your mailbox and delete unwanted e-mail without the need to download those messages first. Just login, select the unwanted messages and click Delete. It's as simple as that.
You can also automate the removal of unwanted messages by creating lists of trusted and blocked senders and by creating custom filters based on several criteria. Another option is to bounce messages right back to their sender to simulate a non-existing e-mail address.
Other e-mail applications only filter spam after downloading it first. But thanks to POPmonitor you can get rid of spam and other unwanted e-mail before it reaches your e-mail application.
From now on you will be in control of your mailbox again!

What's new in this version:

Improved existing filters and added new powerful filters (a total of 185 is supplied)
Improved ISO character set decoding to properly deal with encoded characters such as
Fixed bug where ISO character set decoding was not carried out while applying message body filters causing some filters to incidentally skip messages that should have been flagged or deleted
Fixed issue where the Check All Accounts menu item would be enabled only if at least one account window was visible
Fixed cosmetic issue where message without subject is now titled 'Untitled message' when shown in a separate window
Enlarged text fields in the Create Filter window to allow easier editing of keywords
Added warning dialog to the Create Filter window to notify when a filter's keyword string exceeds the 243 character limit
Fixed bug where multi-line subject would be truncated
Fixed bug where missing From e-mail address could cause unexpected message actions
Fixed bug where incorrectly formatted e-mail addresses could be shown in the Select Bounce Address window
Fixed bug where cancelled bounce messages would get deleted if Automatically Delete Mail After Bouncing It was enabled

What can replace POPmonitor? Developer not updating. - Version: 2.1.3, 8/25/2007 09:04AM PST

I registered POPmonitor years ago, and I'm also very concerned that the developer has abandoned it. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before it will no longer be compatible with future versions of OS X.

What concerns me the most is that the developer is keeping his website updated with copyright info dated 2007 and claims that it's compatible with Intel Macs, but the latest version of POPmonitor, 2.1.3, was released in 2003. That's 4 years already!

While POPmonitor does run on Intel Macs, it only does so only by using Rosetta. The developer's website, including his FAQ page, has no reference of whether he will upgrade POPmonitor to be natively compatible with Intel Macs which further leads me to believe he has no intentions of doing so.

I love POPmonitor, but I need to find a replacement for it. Does anyone know of an application that does the same basic thing and has an active developer?

Abandoned? - Version: 2.1.3, 4/20/2007 01:03AM PST

slowburn--2008

i purchased PopMonitor quite a while ago (2004) and inquired a little later about a feature (showing multiple accounts in a single window), which was supposed to be part of a future release. Too bad not a single new release has been offered since then - not even a universal binary compiled version that would run without Rosetta on an Intel Mac.
Has this project been abandoned?
