A few quick questions

[Chuck7]

Hello!

• Can I make a slight adjustment to the font the recipient sees when I send them an email via POP Peeper (They would like it a bit larger)?

• Similarly, can I make a word or phrase in my email italic or bold - Like This?

• A notifier skin I selected included voice notification--opposite to what I selected in Options; Is the best way to cancel that for a particular skin, to uncheck “allow sound effects”?

Thank You!

POP Peeper only sends plain text messages; plain text means that it has no formatting (including font size), so the size of the text depends entirely on the recipient's email client. For example:

In POP Peeper:
View the message
menu: Options / Select font
- this option only applies to Plain and Rich text messages; and will affect all subsequent messages you open


In Thunderbird (and there may be a different/better way to do this, this is what I just discovered trying different things):
main menu: Tools / Options
"Display"
Fonts - press "advanced" button
Change the font size for the "monospace" value; or perhaps setting a "minimum font size" would be better

Whoops, forgot to reply to the others

Similarly, can I make a word or phrase in my email italic or bold - Like This?

No; as mentioned above, POP Peeper only sends plain text. HTML is being considered for POP Peeper v5.0

A notifier skin I selected included voice notification--opposite to what I selected in Options; Is the best way to cancel that for a particular skin, to uncheck “allow sound effects”?

If the sound played because of a particular skin, it's not technically "voice notification" it was just a sound file included with that skin. Disabling "allow sound effects" will disable all skin-specific sounds. If you only want to disable it for that particular skin, the best thing to do would be to find the .wav file associated with that skin and rename/delete it.

Thank you, Jeff, for your answers! Very helpful.
I had not considered the possibility of augmenting POP Peeper with a Client like Thunderbird, altho years ago I did use one. When I discovered POP Peeper, it was my best experience for auto-checking my email. Would a secondary client be redundant, or are there benefits to using both?
Thanks again, Jeff.

Personally, I haven't used a full email client for about 10 years or so. There are certainly some features that a full email client supports that POP Peeper isn't designed for; for example, local storage. If you like to permanently save your email on your computer, then it would be better to keep using a full email client (setup to access the account via POP3 and delete the messages from the server). I do like to save my email, but I use my mail server for that and move old messages out of the inbox to another folder.
