Guide Review - Calypso 3.3 - Email Program

Calypso comes with a powerful filtering system and equally powerful message templates. Both aren't exactly easy to use, but together with the auto-response functionality and bulk email capabilities make a great package apt for almost any amount of incoming and outgoing mail.

Calypso uses Internet Explorer to display HTML messages, and has a flexible WYSIWYG HTML email editor. This guarantees great looking mails, but IE always comes with security concerns attached.

All in all, Calypso is a capable, flexible, feature-rich and powerful email client (not only) for power users. It's a pity its interface feels a bit outdated and is inconsistent in part.
