Category: Email

Product's Description:

Scribe is a small and fast email client with an intergrated contact database and calendar. It supports all the major internet mail protocols and uses international standards where possible. Scribe doesn't required installing or uninstalled and can be used from a removable drive without reconfiguration. Because Scribe runs on Windows and Linux you can take your mail with you when you change operating system. Scribe protects you from the usual security holes in other email clients with it's own virus safe HTML control and executable attachment protection.

Product's Features:
Free or Commercial Email Client.
i.Scribe is free for everyone to use. No time limits, no nagging shareware banners or number of trials. It is however limited to one account and five user defined filters. If you want to use more than one account and/or more filters then there is the commercial version InScribe.

Spam Free.
Scribe has a built in bayesian spam filter that learns what type of email you consider to be "junk". Once it has a hundred or so spam to train on it can start filtering incomming spam automatically.

Small.
Scribe is quite small, less than a MB to download. And even when downloaded takes up very little of your hard disk or memory while running. You can easily use Scribe from a portable drive like a USB flash card.

Fast.
Startup and shutdown are very quick. Typically taking only a second or two. Mail sends and receives go as fast as your net connection allows. Scribe uses a flexible flat file format for mail storage you can move email with huge attachments around with no effort at all.

Easy.
Scribe comes totally self contained. You can either use the installer version or just unzip the distribution file. Uninstall, there's no dll's left lying around or registry settings to worry about.

Cross-platform.
Scribe runs in Windows and Linux. Allowing users to maintain all their email and contacts in one place. Run the version of scribe for the OS your running and access the email received in another OS.

Up To Date.
Updates about once a month since the start of 1999.

Multi-languange.
Scribe can be translated into any language. English, Swedish, Czech, Turkish, Russian, Lithuanian, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, Luganda, Brazilian, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Farsi, Dutch, Serbian, Polish, Norwegian, Japanese, Chinese, Traditional, Russian, French, Italian.

Expandable.
Scribe has a plugin interface that allows people to expand the capabilities of the application.

Safe.
Scribe is not vunerable to email virus' like Klez and Bugbear because the HTML support is not provided by Internet Explorer but by a built in HTML control that has no scripting, network or execute capability. The attachment list won't hide the real extension of a file either.
And if a virus does get in through by some other means, it won't be able to find your address book thus preventing it from mailing itself to all your contacts.
Finally Scribe won't let you open a file from the attachment list when it has an executable image (PE or ELF) or has a standard scripting exetension (like .VBS on windows). This prevents users accidently opening virii directly. If you have been sent a safe executable that you do need to run, then you can save it to disk and run it from there.

Interoperable.

Scribe supports importing and exporting mail, contacts and calendar events to many open formats such as MBOX, .eml (single email), vCard, vCal/iCal and CSV (comma separated variables) contacts. Also support for proprietry formats and API's such as MAPI (import/export available only on windows), Outlook Express's MBX/DBX format and Eudora's address book is included.
