Well i use Thunderbird and it have default options to inform me about new email. If not you can still find something usefull from this list https://alternativeto.net/software/pop-peeper/
If you have never used Pop Peeper then you are comparing apples and oranges. POP Peeper is a 'email notifier' that runs in your task bar and alerts you when you have new email https://www.esumsoft.com/pop-peeper/ If you could please let us know the similarities that would be great. Thanks.
If you are looking for another email notifier, you may want to give PopMan a try: http://www.ch-software.de/popman/ I've been using it for many years and have always liked it.
Popman is also in portable apps if you are using. PopMan Portable (lightweight email checker) | PortableApps.com
I've been using POP Peeper since about 2008 but never hooking it to an email client. I've always kept it and Thunderbird in their own separate spaces. I now run OWA in it's own hardened Firefox ESR instance. But Cox, AIM, Yahoo and google, in another Firefox not-ESR in another. I just use POP Peeper to scan the Subjects and delete (very handy) whatever I deem unnecessary or suspect or obviously malicious before I open the email client. I actually began using it when I no longer needed all the features MailWasher Pro has. PopMan is OK but I think it offers Oauth2 logins for only google, which was added just recently. Whereas POP Peeper is Oauth2 good for plenty others, as in my situation - Cox, Yahoo, AIM and GoDaddy-served-Outlook 365. Oh yeah, and google.
I'm another long time POP Peeper user. It supports numerous and various email accounts. I'm not aware of anything that compares to it. I don't know if I understand the OP's problem. If it was me, I'd go and ask about the problem on the POP Peeper Forum. Jeff and others are very helpful and quick to respond. I've used the forum many times over the years.
