MSGTAG
Have you ever wondered if your E-mail recipients
have read your messages yet? An easy-to-use freeware
program, MSGTAG alerts you when E-mails you send are
opened. MSGTAG works with most E-mail clients,
including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora and
Pegasus Mail. (For Windows).
MailWasher
This handy freeware E-mail management program lets
you fight back against spammers and E-mail viruses
and helps protect your privacy. MailWasher lets you
check and manage your E-mails before you download
them. You can also use it to bounce E-mails back to
spammers, so that it looks as though your E-mail
address is no longer valid.
(For Windows).
Schmaili
Liven up your E-mail correspondence with this fun,
freeware program that lets you easily insert an
animated smiley face into your messages with a
simple mouse click. There are a wide range of
nifty-looking smiley face characters to choose from
here. (For Microsoft Outlook,
Outlook Express, IncrediMail, and Netscape Messenger
7.0).
POP
Peeper
Having trouble juggling your different E-mail
accounts? This nifty freeware utility runs in your
Windows task bar and notifies you when you have new
E-mail in any of your POP3, Hotmail, MSN or Yahoo
accounts. (For Windows).
JB
Mail 3.2
Here's a unique, free portable POP3 mail reader and
mailbox maintenance utility, that gives you direct
access to your POP mailbox. You can view, preview,
delete, save, print, and even get attachments
directly from your mailbox. As a result, you don't
have to go through the hassle of downloading
anything that you don't want to your hard drive.
Handy, particularly for those who get lots of
E-mail. (For Windows).
Outlook
Messenger Express
If you're using Microsoft Outlook, then you'll find
this freeware utility very helpful. Outlook
Messenger Express lets you quickly and easily send a
message without going to the hassle of loading the
cumbersome Outlook program itself. You can minimize
it to the Windows desktop tray when you're not using
it, as well. (For Windows).
Hikyaku
Japanese E-mailer
Here's a free E-mail client that is capable of
displaying Japanese characters on non-Japanese
computers. Using Hikyaku, you don't need a
commercial character extension program such as
KanjiKit or Twinbridge. This is a helpful program
for Japanese speakers who are on the road and want
to send E-mail from standard PCs.
(For Windows).
ePrompter
A useful freeware program, ePrompter is an E-mail
retrieval and notification utility that can
automatically check up to eight password-protected
E-mail accounts for you, including POP3 mail, AOL,
Hotmail, Juno, Mail.com and more. ePrompter is
easily accessible via a rotating tray icon in your
taskbar. (For Windows).
Plaxo
Do you have a tough time keeping your E-mail address
book up-to-date? A handy program, Plaxo, which is
available in a free beta version, piggybacks onto
Microsoft Outlook and provides you with various
tools for keeping your contact list current.
(For Windows).
Eudora
Our favorite free E-mail program. Eudora offers
loads of features, such as the ability to filter
your mail and efficiently organize it into folders;
multiple signatures; drag & drop capabilities;
nicknames and more. We also love its sleek and
elegant interface. If you use Eudora, then you need
to check out eMailman,
which offers a big selection of utilities, tools and
plug-ins for getting the most out of Eudora. The
only quibble we have with Eudora is its cumbersome
search function, which makes it time-consuming to
find just the E-mail you're hunting for.
(Available for Windows and Macs.)
Eudora's latest
version, 7, is a fully featured E-mail client,
which is available for free in
"sponsored" mode (a version that
displays small ads). This powerful new version
offers such handy features as automatic name
completion, which lets you address E-mails
quickly.
Listserv
Lite
We've had a number of visitors ask if there are any
free mailing list programs available on the Net.
Here's one from the makers of the well-known
industrial-strength creators of Listserv. The Free
Edition is a freeware version of Listserv Lite,
limited to a maximum of 10 mailing lists with up to
500 subscribers each. This version is free, as long
as the licensee does not derive a profit from using
the software. Be sure to read the usage
policy.
Pegasus
Mail
One of the Net's all-time classic freeware products,
Pegasus has a very strong following, and with good
reason. It has tons of helpful features, including a
spell checker, multiple signatures, checking of
multiple mailboxes, etc. However, Pegasus does
suffer from a few drawbacks. We find its interface a
little clunky and its cut & paste capabilities
are limited. If you download Pegasus, then be sure
to check out the Guide
to Pegasus Mail Add-ons, which is a good
collection of enhancement programs for this E-mail
client. (Available for Windows
and Macs).
