   Just an FYI in that persons post (screen name of jasinwa) I am not sure u realizes the ip of 127.0.0.1 is the ip for loopback, not an actual outside site.

   Very good, adn easy to use. My big complain is more with the memory consumption of Java than with the way Zoe worked.
   I would probably keep using it if the javaw.exe didn't suck up 31MB and then my browser another 10-20mb (depending on which I use).
   
   But GREAT program still!
   :-D

   I've checked this program since first appearance. I never had problems with setup. Just start with your javaw.exe (if .jar isn't set to be executed automatically). Allow Zoë! to access it's ports in your firewall. Well I have to admit: this is not a good choice for someone needing an easier Maillapp than his/her Outlook Express. If you have probs with that, you'll definatly have them with Zoë! And it will not look like the standardmailapps. But if you want googlelike search for your mail...take your time (yes 10 minutes is a little short for a first view...who would have thought...and you shouldn't have DL'ed the sourcefile...and blame the program for you beeing...hasty.) And guess what. I like the program, setup a mailacount in 5 mins, but I stay with my Mozillamail. Thats because I don't need Zoë! stuff, but I know people crying because someone made the program of their desire. As ever: I give a program 5 stars if I have tested(!) it and it does what it claims to do.

   Technicalities: You'll need a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run this application. If you don't have one (or if you only have the crap from Microsoft): Download one from java.com. Install. Restart Windows.
   
   Note: The low (to me unfair) rating of Zoë is based on the fact that most reviewers have not known how to run Zoë. Most (if any) are not actual reviews of the application itself.
   
   Review: Now then, at this early stage of development Zoë is hardly useful at all - yet capable of getting, displaying and searching e-mail. What gets me is the ingenuity of the author and the uniqueness of the application. I'm quite certain, with time, Zoë will turn into a truly fascinating and useful application.

   downloaded the tar file, and there wasn't any .jar file to be found... did i miss something or are they just releasing a bad tgz? at any rate, wasted 10minutes of my time... so rating 1.
