Check your POP3, IMAP and SMTP mailboxes in Firefox
Simple Mail is a Firefox extension that can turn your favorite web browser into a basic, yet fully functional email client.
Once installed, you can configure Simple Mail with your email account details and manage your mailbox from just another tab in Firefox.
The extension works with POP3, SMTP and IMAP email accounts – no webmail support here, but hey, simply open another tab and browse to your webmail page.
Also, you can set up as many simultaneous accounts as you want.
Simply Mail behaves just like any regular email client: you'll be able to check your messages, reply to them, see any attached files and of course send new messages from a full featured rich text editor.
The program also includes some nice options such as an address book or the possibility to download just message headers. Just bear in mind that this is meant to be a simple, lightweight client so there won't be extra features like signatures or spam filters.

Simple Mail is simple!.
Simple Mail is a lightweight plugin for Firefox with no categories and separate inboxes, that supports POP3 and IMAP, notifies on new message and is simple - just what I have been looking for! It integrates in your browser, automatically checks for new mail and notifies you of new mail.
It doesn't offer separate folders for each account, but for me that's a plus, because I have quite a number of mailboxes and hate jumping from folder to folder.
This email client has best IMAP handling i've seen so far. It doesn't backup your mail on your computer, but instead it downloads the new mail to inbox - just like POP3. If you're forced to use IMAP like me, then you will love the feature.
Other than that Simple Mail does flawlessly. It doesn't offer advanced features, because it's simple, just like the name says.
It's simple. That's why we love it. <3
Pros:
Simple
IMAP as POP3 handling
Single Inbox
Automatic Checking and Notifications
Cons:
