This e-mail program specializes in speed, stability & data  
protection. A lot of people prefer its user interface, which is very  
similiar to Outlook Express' and Claris Emailer's. It's biggest claim  
to fame is that it stores all of its e-mail messages (according to  
RFC spec) in individual files on your hard drive - so you don't have  
to worry about corruption of a huge monolithic e-mail database.
