| Recently updated | |
Location on CD: software/windows/messages/eudora/ | |
Eudora is a popular email application that will handle all your email needs. There are numerous improvements in this version, as well as some great new features: SpamWatch (Paid Mode only ñ see below) for filtering out junk email; Format Painter (copies fonts and styles from one place to another); Contextual Filing; new toolbar icons and more.
Eudora has three licensing options: Light mode, Sponsored mode and†Paid mode. This single download can be set up in any one of these modes.
If you access multiple email accounts on multiple PCs and want a highly adaptable interface, Eudora's your thing.
In Light mode, Eudora has many fewer features, but is free of charge and without ads.
In Sponsored mode, Eudora displays ads. It's fairly discreet and means you get the full power of Eudora for free. After a trial period, Eudora will ask you to profile yourself to continue to use the full free version, enabling it to display ads more relevant to your interests.
In Paid mode, Eudora does not display ads and you get the full power of Eudora, but you do have to pay.

| GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP 9 | |
|
Win2000/2003 |
| 30-day evaluation ñ new version | |
Location on CD: software/windows/messages/gfi_mail_essentials/ | |
If you're running Exchange and getting complaints about increasing SPAM from your users, then consider this Exchange 2000/2003 server add-on. GFI MailEssentials for Exchange offers spam protection at server level and eliminates the need to install and update anti-spam software on each desktop. Now with Bayesian analysis, the program offers a fantastically high spam detection rate (Bayesian filtering learns all the time, and takes into account your valid email, not just the spam).
GFI ME gives very low false positives through its automatic whitelist, and can automatically adapt to the user's email environment to constantly tune and improve spam detection. GFI MailEssentials also adds key email tools to Exchange, including disclaimers, mail archiving and monitoring, reporting, server-based auto replies and POP3 downloading.

| HaveTheyReadItYet? 1.0.105 | |
|
W9x/ME/NT4/2000/XP |
| Free | |
Location on CD: software/windows/messages/have_they_read_it_yet/ | |
Have you ever sent an important email that's so important you end up ringing the recipient up to see if they've received it and read it? Rather defeats the object. Have They Read It Yet deals with this by 'stamping' your email with a small image. Any time after a stamped message is sent, the sender or any recipient can click on the image and see when and where (in terms of IP addresses) the message has been opened.
You get five re-usable stamps with the free version of the software, so you can only have five stamped messages in transit at any one time, but the system is safe and secure. The technology doesn't affect the routing of email, doesn't modify messages after they're sent, and doesn't require identifying information about senders or receivers. The 'stamps' are never hidden from recipients, never run code of any kind on a recipient's computer, and anyone who clicks on them can see the information they collect.
Works with Outlook Express (5 or later), Outlook 2000 and Outlook XP.
