Hikyaku: A free Japanese E-mailer - Here's a free E-mail client that is
capable of displaying Japanese characters on non-Japanese
computers. Using Hikyaku, you don't need a commercial
character extension program such as KanjiKit or
Twinbridge. This is a helpful program for Japanese
speakers who're on the road and want to send E-mail from

Eudora
Light - Our favorite
free E-mail program. Eudora offers you tons of features:
such as the ability to filter your mail & organize it
into folders; multiple signatures; drag & drop
capabilities; nicknames and more. We also love its sleek
and elegant interface. If you use Eudora, then you need
to check out Andrew Starr's (Unofficial) Eudora Site, which offers a huge selection of
utilities, tools and plug-ins for getting the most out of
Eudora. The only drawback we have with Eudora is its
cumbersome search function, which makes it time-consuming
to find just the E-mail you're hunting for. To learn how
to block spam with Eudora, go here. (Available for Windows, Macintosh, and
Newton.)
Norton
Secret Stuff - Here's
an excellent free utility for protecting the privacy of
files you send over the Net. Norton Secret Stuff secures
the privacy of the files you send through E-mail. It
allows you to create self-decrypting executables that you
can send to anyone without them needing a copy of Secret
Stuff to decrypt the file. All you need to do is send the
file and tell the intended recipient the password. When
they run the executable they’ll be prompted for the
password and the file will decrypt itself. (For Windows
95/98/NT) 160 kilobytes.
PostPet
- Is this an E-mail program
or a game or a virtual pet? I'm not sure. But in any
case, it's a lot of fun. PostPet is an artificial
intelligence program that can "learn" to write
E-mail messages to you and your friends. This free demo
can also deliver greeting cards, "make friends"
with other PostPets and do other activities as well. (For Windows
95/98). Available in English, Japanese & German.
Spammer Slammer
- If you've spent very long
on the Net, you've no doubt been the victim of a spammer
(someone who sends unsolicited junk E-mail.) Now you can
fight back with this cool program, called Spammer
Slammer. It's an easy-to-use client that works with any
POP3 e-mail software. It also works for multiple accounts
on the same machine. Another plus: there's no blacklist,
huge domain lists, or spammer list to maintain.
Listserv Lite - We've
had a number of visitors ask if there are any free
mailing list programs available on the Net. Here's one
from the makers of the well-known industrial-strength
creators of Listserv. The Free Edition is a freeware
version of Listserv Lite, limited to a maximum of 10
mailing lists with up to 500 subscribers each. This
version is free, as long as the licensee does not derive
a profit from using the software. Be sure to read the usage policy.
Pegasus Mail
- One of the Net's all-time
classic freeware products, Pegasus has a very strong
following, and with good reason. It has tons of helpful
features, including a spell checker, multiple signatures,
checking of multiple mailboxes, etc. However, Pegasus
does suffer from a few drawbacks. We find its interface a
little clunky and its cut & paste capabilities are
limited. If you download Pegasus, then be sure to check
out the Guide to Pegasus Mail Add-ons, which is a good collection of
enhancement programs for this E-mail client. (Available for
Windows, MS-DOS, Macs, and Mercury).
SchizoSigz! - This is
a handy E-mail signature generator that works with any
E-mail program that utilizes ASCII based signature files.
SchizoSigz! takes a header file, footer file, and a file
filled with quotes, taglines, or whatever, and generates
an E-mail signature file at a specified interval. It runs
from the Win 95/NT task bar.
WorldFlash News
Ticker - This useful
free program delivers lots of information to your
desktop, including news headlines, stock quotes, and
weather data. It can also check for your incoming E-mail
(POP3 compatible only) and display E-mail headers in a
scrolling window. (The install program is 1.2 megs in
size and is for Win 95 and NT only).
