- A demo of this new e-mail software, is now available from sumex-aim
- (in demo/snapmail.hqx), and other archive sites for ftp downloading
- and will show up in comp.binaries.mac fairly soon.
-
- It is indeed a peer-to-peer based system, but it also implements an
- innovative distributed server model provides server capabilities to
- allow for sending mail between computers that are never on at the same
- time. Installation is very simple and maintenance is practically not
- necessary. Features include, forwarding, replying, conferencing,
- custom groups, forms, password security, file enclosures, customizable
- notification icons, and more.
