Though I been using Mozilla Thunderbird for years. I find this client needs some work. Though it's a great program, Thunderbird is better. It has a nice interface, though it has a problem while functioning with spam filters. Pocomail is a major pain, when it comes to compressing folders. You will need patience for this one.

PocoMail is a brilliant piece of software. I'm sure the designer of this piece of art has put a lot of thought in it. Nothing is left out. Outstanding features and perfect design. No doubt, well worth the price.

@Golata - If you never trialed PocoMail then you should not bash a product which isn't free. :( Same goes for all other software. Poco gives you security, because it doesn't understand VBScript or JavaScript, nor will it run PocoScript, its own scripting language. It uses its own internal HTML viewer, so not vulnerable to common email security exploits. Further more sanitizing, stripping a message and blocking images from downloading (= protection against spammers) are all done by clicking simple buttons. Scripts can be found at the forum or downloaded in Extras to automate tasks by a click on a button or a filter or an Event. If you want to sanitize a certain mailbox (In, Junk, Trash), create an Event OnDisplay. You can actually preview spam messages without fear. Filter spam with a Bayesian filter. Change the look with the many available skins. Impeccable filtering capabilities and so much more ... :) Worth the money Poco Systems asks. IMHO

With the advent of new, free and politely supported email programs, Poco is, in fact just that -- small. That is, except for the price tag. No need to give this one a try.

I evaluate 20-30 programs a month, and after searching for a really good email client for months, I was sold on PocoMail after a few hours of serious testing, no kidding. At first install I had no fewer than seven other email clients installed (under Windows XP), and not even the slightest burp from Poco. Importing mail and contacts was easy and the features, speed and versatility are really amazing. I stopped using Microsoft's security-challenged, buggy clients long ago, and have found that Poco easily whips such heavies as Eudora, Pegasus and The Bat, as well as others like Gemini, Foxmail and an overpriced, underdeveloped mess called Bloomba. All are nice, but none do it as well as Poco. Being impervious VB and Java scripting, and with its own HTML viewer and more, it's also the safest client around, not to mention it being very stable. All in all, I find it extremely easy to give PocoMail my strongest recommendation.

Finally an email program that has almost all of the features I could want! The customer service consists of personal emails from the program s writer. The forum supporting the product is highly active and informative.

I have been beta-testing PocoMail 3 for some time now, and am so glad to see it go "final". The new version will simply blow you away, with its power, feature-set, and terrific new interface. PocoMail is virtually virus-proof (I don t even use an anti-virus program, that s how confident I am in PocoMail 3)! Sure, it s not free, but trust me, it s money well spent!

PocoMail has all of the features you want (and then some), with an excellent interface, and it's easy to use. Add the fact that it's virtually virus proof, and you have a top-notch e-mail client! I have been using it for more than a year now.
