Poco is really nice, but when will be S/MIME and PGP implemented? I am thinking, which mail program lacks support of these security features and can not find any. What about support for eastern europe codepages? These messages looks really bad. What about better IMAP support? What about virtual folders? Even outlooks have this feature already. Please stop working on GUI and work on serious features. We do not want another incredimail :-(

There would be necessary to do a test of stupidity to prevent people with cerebral serious hurt(damage) from doing stupid commentaries. Pocomail like The Bat like Windows like Mozilla Firefox and any program that is massive has very much use and "they" "jump" the mistakes, thing that does not happen(pass) in programs that are slightly secondhand(worn), or in suppliers of programs who hide the above mentioned mistakes to the public. Saying this, use pocomail does plus of four years, has his(her,your) good things and his bad things, is in the line of Thunderbird, The Bat!, Becky, Pegasus and different some you programme few ones that they contemplate a developed well interface, a reasonable level of safety and a speed esperable. Let's look for the hair neither in the egg, nor the fifth leg to the cat, it is a good program that excels itself, as say the French " Lesse faire, Lesse Passe ", if they do not like it do not use it but if they it criticize that it is constructivly.

@themaven: It's not a common problem that people can no longer connect to their SMTP server. I do admit that some users did have problems. :-/ Concerning the Bayesian filter I can only tell that it works for me. Not one message of spam gets into my InBox. Of course it's not in the same league as K9, because you need to tweak it to perfection. @PFMM: Poco isn't buggy and the new version is extremely stable on my OS. Bugs are adressed according to priority. Version 4 wasn't rushed out of beta at all. Poco Systems took the time to let the beta-testers find the bugs left and fixing the reported and reproducable bugs. I also don't like reviews who don't tell the entire truth. If I remember you were using Win2K and it didn't work. Another user tested it on his system and experienced no problems at all. Those reviews you pointed too are to be taken with a grain of salt too. Anyway Poco works great here and if there are still some bugs left, they are of low priority. Beta-testing continues pretty soon to iron out reported bugs and making Poco an even better email client then it already is. No offense meant by it, but I had to get this off my chest.

Read the review below by PFMM and heed the warnings. There are lots of nice features in Poco, but many things don't work right. I can no longer connect to my website's SMTP server (common complaint in Poco Forums) since version 4 (3.4 worked okay), and the Bayesian filter is not worth a damn. I have to use K9, a free product that totally outclasses Poco's spam filter, to keep my inbox clean.

Probably the BEST designed email client of all time... human interface is unsurpassed... feature set is BRILLIANT. And now for the bad news - its CHRONICALLY BUGGY! The programmer just cant seem to get his act together in the "nuts and bolts" coding to actually implement all of his grand ideas PROPERLY. Its up to version FOUR now, and bugs are still left unaddressed - and paying users left HIGH AND DRY! - from version TWO. Version 4 was surely RUSHED out of Beta without testing it on all of the "supported operating systems" (check the Pocomail forums for grim tales of woe!) HEED the words from the wise... check the reviews posted below dating back to March 25th, 2005 and November 29th, 2003 and April 29th, 2003!! These people are SPOT-ON in their assessments. I deeply reget i didnt find this page (and also read DEEPLY into the pocomail forums) BEFORE i bought the program! CAVEAT EMPTOR pretty much sums it up, I'm afraid. The only silver lining is that now i know what a really good email client should LOOK LIKE! Will Poco Systems get it together and actually DELIVER THE GOODS by Version 5, or just muddle along hopelessly like the past couple of years? It probably wont be til another year down the road - but I would like to give them another chance on the next version (assuming they 'do the right thing' and send me a refund for the hopelessly buggy version 4...) Or maybe someone else will take all those glorious interface ideas, and give them to a programming team who can ACTUALLY MAKE THEM ALL WORK ??? Either way, here's hoping!
