LCARS Mail - Email Program

The Bottom Line
LCARS Mail is a solid email client with standard features and some deficiencies, but there's one feature that sets LCARS Mail apart from other programs: the great (or cumbersome) LCARS interface.

  • Supports HTML mail, stationery
  • Flexible message filters

  • LCARS Mail has an LCARS interface
  • Supports POP accounts only, no secure messaging
  • Message editor lacks power

  • LCARS Mail includes a simple address book.

  • LCARS Mail supports Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/3/XP.
Guide Review - LCARS Mail 1.01.156 - Email Program
I've always been watching Start Trek for the computers. Everything looked (and sounded) so much cooler than what my monitor was displaying.

Now that I have LCARS Mail on my laptop, I guess I'll write much more mails on the road, just to show off its great looking interface.

LCARS Mail is not only good looking, however, the LCARS interface is also quite functional. It is functional because LCARS Mail is: it comes with most standard features, such as HTML support, reasonably flexible filters, and an address book, stationery even.

Unfortunately, a lot is missing, too. The message editor is weak, LCARS Mail only supports POP, can't deal with encrypted mail, has no templates and labels, and even the LCARS interface can be annoying sometimes.
