 MyPopwatcher is an
sample Windows form application that demonstrates how to use the MyPopInfo web
service from within an application.
While the application can be used as a stand alone application, it's mainly
designed as a sample to be build upon. Functionality is kept fairly
straightforward to show the necessary steps to communicate with the web
service, and to handle its responses.
For those wanting the application only, download the "Application Only" link
below. The project link contains the Visual Studio C# project source files
necessary to compile and enhance the application any way you see fit.
The main window of the application is very simple: input boxes for your user
name and password, and a few options. The "Auto Start and Hide" checkbox is
useful if you want the application to start and hide itself when launched. Once
you setup your options, the settings are remembered and you'll likely use this
setting after you have the application set up.

 The Poll Frequency
determines how frequently, in minutes, the web service should be checked for
new messages. While the application is running, a mail icon is placed in the
system tray. The mail icon will change colors if new mail arrives, or if there
is an error. Right-clicking the mail icon displays which mailboxes have new
mail, and give options to surf to the MyPopchecker web page, change settings,
or exit the program.
