You can also use POP Peeper to read and delete your email. POP Peeper supports HTML email, so you can see your email the same way as you would in your email client. Several options are available that will decrease or eliminate the risks of reading your email (viruses, javascript, webbugs, etc).

If you share your computer, you can password-protect your accounts or password-protect access to POP Peeper. Using POP Peeper, you can quickly scan what messages are important enough to read, and which ones you want to delete without even opening your email client.

POP Peeper does not provide any reply options or spam filtering like some others, however if mail notification is your main reason, than this is a great little tool that works fast and efficient.
