Guide Review - MailNavigator 1.11 - Email Program

Do you have a hard time finding information you know must be in one of those emails? Have you used different email programs in the past, which doesn't make the search easier? Then MailNavigator can help.

Sporting a powerful albeit not particularly simple interface, MailNavigator automatically recognizes the email clients on your computer (well, most of them) and lets you search their archives. Using flexible search criteria, you can get exactly the messages you are looking for, wherever they may be, and MailNavigator automatically puts the results in a virtual folder for easy access.

Since you can export mail to either .eml files or Eudora mailboxes (which use the standard mbox file format, more or less), it's easy to export messages to most email programs. In a way, this is also necessary: though it offers a simple editor for sending mail and can retrieve messages from POP accounts, MailNavigator is not a fully blown email client itself.
