Guide Review - Popcorn 1.86 - Free Email Program
I wish more software was written like Ultrafunk's Popcorn: it is stable, it is elegant, it is fast, and it is easy to use. Sure, Popcorn does not boast a long list of features, but it excels at what it was built for: accessing email in POP accounts.
Unfortunately, Popcorn can only access one account at a time. This is the only major gripe with this program, however. Popcorn is literally portable. It fits on a floppy easily together with its INI file, the single place where all its settings are kept. So you can check, preview and delete mail in your email accounts from anywhere.
Popcorn lets you compose simple emails and replies, too, with support for the .eml file format so you can easily import or export messages to and from other email programs. And you can set the From: line to whatever you want easily. Woohoo!
