Manage e-mails; Create
thumbnails AS we become more and more dependent on e-mail to keep in touch with the outside world, we feel the need for e-mail clients that give us more than the routine stuff that we get as a part of the OS. This fortnight we feature a light freeware call JBMail that suits almost every PC user. It sits lightly on the HDD and does so many useful things. The other featured freeware helps manage HTML albums and create thumbnails. Both are useful additions to the computers. JBMail JBMail is a compact and portable secure e-mail client. The software has been designed for simplicity, security and "on-line mailbox access" meaning the mail is manipulated remotely and not stored locally. JBMail supports POP3, SMTP, SSL/TLS and all essential mail client features - but it is not "just another" mail client. Then who is it for? Anybody who benefits from a streamlined mail client that leaves mail on the server and which doesn’t force them to download all mail (saving time and bandwidth). The program itself is self-contained and portable and does not require installation. It is ideal for security conscious users who benefit from a clean, simple mail client that doesn’t expose them to the security and privacy risks posed by HTML mail and script support. Attachments are decoded on demand only, ensuring that viruses are not automatically unleashed. HTML is never rendered, so advertisers cannot track messages. Users of remote services who require a properly implemented, yet easy to use SSL/TLS client for encrypted POP3 and SMTP transactions. Encrypted mail access is becoming a standard for business, academic and government mail services. Those who receive an excessive volume of daily mail and need powerful filtering capabilities will find it useful. With direct mailbox access on the server, users can quickly clean and take care of incoming mail to reduce or even eliminate local mail storage. But people who find everything they need (speed, security, convenience) in their current mail client and those who expect many flashy features at their fingertips will probably not need it. JBMail is designed to be compact and secure, and the design goals may create inconveniences for some users. It runs on Windows ‘95, Windows ‘98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It has also been tested under Virtual PC on MacOS. This free trial version of JBMail never expires or nags for registration. The limitations are that it can only save one profile to disk, and message flags (read, replied to status) are not retained between sessions.
