Email Popup is a simple app that displays a dialog for a few seconds every time an email is received. If the phone is sleeping and/or the screen locked, Email Popup will wake up the phone and unlock the screen when displaying the popups.
You can select how long the popup stays on. You can also configure the app to filter out emails so that only the important ones do popup.
Email Popup is great to use
- when you are working or studying with the phone on your desk
- when driving with phone mounted on the car’s dashboard
- when in meetings
Email Popup only works with K-9 Mail v1.106 and higher. It does not work with Gmail unless you get your Gmail messages using K-9 Mail.
For comments and feedback, feel free to email me.

Found this app kind of by mistake and glad I did. Very nice job, looks and works great on my Droid.

Thanks. Indeed, I need to do a bit or marketing to promote the app.

Any chance you can implement TTS that goes similar to
“New Mail from with subject: “

App freezes the notification function on my Motorola Backflip. Also will not consistently popup my email. Frequently get message the app has to do “force close”. Help please! Is there a setting I need to check? I am using K9 Mail.

So does this just work on k9 or k9 pure and what is the difference between the two and also it does not work with HTC mail?

It’s meant to only work with K-9. It may work with K-9 Pure. I don’t know much about K-9 Pure beside that it is a fork of K-9. Depending on when the fork happened Email Popup may or may not work.
I will not work with HTC Mail.

i have k-9 fetching my gmail and the default android mail client fetching my aol. i’d really like mail popup to only popup my k-9 and leave my aol alone. i keep my aol for potential spam, mailing lists from jr.com, bestbuy, dell…basically unimportant stuff. i’d pay for it if it did this.

Love the app. Would be even better if it didn’t blind me in the night with Emails….any chance of a “don’t pop up between the hours” sort of thing.

I will look into it. In the meanwhile, you can tell K-9 to stop fetching emails during the night. I don’t remember the path to the setting though.
