Guide Review - WikMail 2005 - Email Program
WikMail is everything to everybody. It can work as a great mail checker, but you can also use it as a full-fledged email client. Its remote mailbox tool lets you scan and delete mail right at the server, and you can use WikMail to compose colorful emails boasting stationery, graphical signatures, smileys and what not.
In spite of its skinnable interface and maybe thanks to a database-centered approach, WikMail is a speedy tool. Unfortunately, it supports only POP accounts, and some areas haven't yet gotten appropriate attention.
There's plain text editing, for example, which doesn't encourage properly formatted emails, and the filters, which aren't particularly helpful, neither with sorting mail nor with getting rid of spam.
