X-Sylpheed

X-Sylpheed is a software application that can be used in order to aid people in sending and receiving mails, with support for POP3 and IMAP4 account types.

You are not required to go through the installation process, as this is the portable version of Sylpheed. Consequently, the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes and it is not going to leave any kind of traces behind after its removal from the drive.

It is also important to mention here that if you place the program files to a removable storage unit, you can run X-Sylpheed on the fly, on any machine you come in contact with, with just a click of the EXE.

This mail client enables you to set up multiple accounts, with the help of a wizard which guides you every step of the way, and you can organize messages by creating multiple mailboxes and folders. In addition to that, you can manually add contact to the address book, as well as import them from CSV or LDIF files.

It is also possible to save certain messages as templates, so that you can use at a later date, as well as establish filters, so as to automatically sort certain mails or delete them, according to your specifications. Logs are available and they can be brought up at any point in another window, while you can also choose a character encoding from a pretty long built-in list and use search functions to look for items in the current message or in all of them.

Mails are loaded in plain text, keyboard shortcuts are integrated for scrolling, flagging and moving messages, and notifications can be hidden or shown when new messages arrive.

The amount of resources requirements is insignificant, the response time is quite good, the interface is intuitive and feature-rich, and we did not pick up on any errors or crashes in our tests. X-Sylpheed proves to a pretty efficient and reliable mail client, that we recommend to all types of users.
