PUBLISHED ON January 7, 2008 AT 9:10 AM

If you have multiple email accounts, checking them individually can be a drag. Fortunately, since I started using mainly Gmail, Google’s free web-based email service, I could forward all my, uh, forwardable emails — most of them from other Gmail accounts — to my main Gmail email and check all of them in one account.

But there’s another way of doing it.

If you prefer to check your emails in each account without the hassle of actually opening each of them (Gmail only allows you to open an account one at a time; I have stopped using Thunderbird ever since it started acting up and ever since I realized that all that mail was filling up my hard-disk space unnecessarily), there’s a nifty solution courtesy of e-prompter, a light, not to mention free, email retrieval system that I have been using for ages now.

Check it out — and you might just save yourself time and spare yourself some headache.
