KlipFolio Feed Viewer The Feed Viewer Klip lets you follow any RSS feed in the efficient headline browsing style of KlipFolio. It can't display formatted descriptions, though, and isn't apt for working on individual items. MailChecker32 Freeware 2.6.0 MailChecker32 Freeware is not a sophisticated or feature-rich mail checker, but it is well suited for the job of announcing new mail in a simple manner. MailChecker32 3.6.0 MailChecker32 is a simple, but functional mail checker that optionally notifies you only about messages matching certain conditions. Unfortunately, it's POP only and the filters are limited. GuardMail 5.0 GuardMail is a friendly, easy to use anti-spam tool that can act as a mail checker, too. Unfortunately, its many filters (a laudable effort) are not precise enough and produce many false positives. Motino 1.1 Motino is at the same time very easy to use and very efficient at removing spam from your Outlook Inbox. There isn't much more to say, it just works -- unfortunately not with IMAP, though. PowerMail 4.2 PowerMail is a great Mac email client with powerful filters, unparalleled search functionality and great overall usability. ActiveRefresh 1.37 ActiveRefresh is a powerful aggregator (RSS, non-syndicated sites, email) and flexible news presenter (with filters and customizable display). It lacks tools to organize, to work with news, though. Jetable.org Disposable Email Jetable.org provides easy to use disposable email addresses that auto-expire after a certain time. Useful when you need an address just once, it's not an all-around disposable email solution. Spam Xploder With Spam Xploder, you not only get a solid email account but also great server-side Bayesian spam filtering that spares you downloading the junk. Support for more email clients would be nice, though. IMail Server 8.0 IMail Server is a solid and tested mail server that combines a hands-on approach of essential features with powerful spam filtering options and a wide support of standards. McAfee.com SpamKiller 4.5 McAfee.com SpamKiller is a powerful and sophisticated anti-spam tool that is still easy to use. Unfortunately, it relies on simple (though flexible) content filters to detect spam. MailMate 2.1.5 MailMate is a solid and easy to use anti-spam tool that does catch a good deal of spam. Its Achilles heel is the lack of precision, though. Avoiding false positives requires continuous attention. WikMail 5.1 WikMail is a multifarious email tool that includes mail checking, a fun email client, postcards, tools to create stationery and a lot more. Unfortunately, plain text editing has suffered a bit. Wildgrape NewsDesk 1.1 Wildgrape NewsDesk is a RSS feed reader that makes it easy to follow and find news (also via its tray icon menu). NewsDesk lacks tools to put news in context and other advanced features, though. Radio UserLand 8.0 Radio UserLand is great for blogging hence and forth (and reading RSS feeds in between), but as a news reader Radio UserLand is actually rather pathetic except for its RSS to mail gateway. AmphetaDesk 0.93.1 AmphetaDesk is a solid aggregator of RSS feeds and displays them in a highly customizable web page. AmphetaDesk is less helpful when it comes to organizing, archiving and using news, though. PopHeadlines 1.2 PopHeadlines is a smart little tool that lets you read any RSS feed in any email client. Unfortunately, adding a feed means adding a new email account, and that can get cumbersome. NewsMonster FREE 1.2.1 NewsMonster FREE provides a very clean and useful interface to RSS feeds directly in Mozilla or Netscape. Advanced features like searches are missing, though, and one update schedule must fit all. Newz Crawler 1.4.1 Newz Crawler is a fantastic RSS feed reader with a highly useable interface and tons of useful features and gimmicks. While Newz Crawler lets you post to blogs, its weak spot is news item relations. Feedreader 2.5 Alpha Feedreader is a clean RSS feed client with fantastic new article notification and an organized interface to following the news. It doesn't offer community integration and advanced features, though. BlogStreet Info Aggregator BlogStreet Info Aggregator is a great and highly recommended service that lets you read (and filter, organize, share and archive) RSS feeds via email. Info Aggregator comes with IMAP and web access. Blago RSS Newsreader 0.92 Blago RSS Newsreader is a tiny aggregator of RSS feeds. It works great for reading the latest news on a few sites, but Blago RSS Newsreader is not apt for following or organizing many channels. Aggie 1.0 Aggie is most useful as an RSS to email gateway, allowing you to read and organize news in your email client. The HTML display produces by Aggie is nice, but much less useful. Abilon 1.2 Abilon is a clean RSS feed reader that throws in some filtering and a blogging tool, too. Other useful features (like search) are missing, though. GraphicMail GraphicMail makes it easy to send rich, personalized newsletters, and also helps you maintain mailing lists and control open rates. It flexibility for more advanced mailings, though. |
