Pocomail was ane-mail client forMicrosoft Windows systems that was first developed by Poco Systems in 1999. It was originally designed to provide betterspam and attack protection by using its own scripting methods (PocoScript) as opposed to usingJavaScript and nativeMicrosoft scripting.
Pocomail was awarded thePC MagazineShareware Program of the Year in 2000 thanks to its intuitive use, support forPOP3 andIMAP protocols,HTML viewing, and the ability to access multiple accounts from one simple application.[1]
The most recent release, version 4.8 (released in April 2009) has added new features, such as the ability to edit sent and received messages, as part of a project with RoseCity Software to make PocoMail the planned upgrade path forCourier users. The added features were key strengths of the Courier email client. Pocomail also included a strongBayesian filtering engine for preventing spam.[2]
Pocomail had problems with displaying UTF-8 encoded characters.
Further development of the software has been discontinued as of December 2011.
