What is JBMail?

Ideal for USB flash drive, CD, or even floppy disk!

JBMail runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP. Although there is no direct Linux/UNIX support yet, JBMail runs nearly perfectly under Wine v20041201 (even with SSL/TLS connections).

Who is it for?

• ROAD WARRIORS and MOBILE USERS who benefit from a streamlined mail client that leaves mail on the server and which doesn't force them to download all mail (saving time and bandwidth). The program itself is self-contained and portable, and does not require installation.

• SECURITY CONSCIOUS PROFESSIONALS who benefit from a clean, simple mail client that doesn't expose them to the security and privacy risks posed by HTML mail and script support. Attachments are decoded on demand only, ensuring that viruses are not automatically unleashed. HTML is never rendered, so advertisers can not track messages.

• USERS OF REMOTE SERVICES who require a properly implemented, yet easy to use SSL/TLS client for encrypted POP3 and SMTP transactions. Encrypted mail access is becoming the standard for business, academic, and government mail services.

• I.T. PROFESSIONALS who receive an excessive volume of daily mail and need powerful filtering capabilities. With direct mailbox access on the server, users can quickly clean and take care of incoming mail to reduce or even eliminate local mail storage. Easy access to multiple profiles makes managing many accounts easy.

Who is it not for?

• People who find everything they need (speed, security, convenience) in their current mail client.

• People who expect many flashy features at their fingertips. JBMail is designed to be compact and secure, and the design goals may create inconveniences for some users.

Features

Security and Privacy. JBMail uses smart technology choices to eliminate the security and privacy hazards found in other mail clients, without sacrificing interoperability. For instance, HTML is stripped to plain text and not rendered.

Full SSL/TLS support. Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security use state-of-the-art encryption to protect POP3 and SMTP communications from eavesdropping and spoofing. Provided by the industry standard OpenSSL.

Virus protection. Multiple levels of defense against viruses, worms and trojans. Safety features include a file block list and executable file SanityCheck.

Junk mail filtering. JBMail includes powerful junk/spam filtering capabilities, including whitelist and blacklist, heuristic custom filters, and even header pattern matching.

Portability. Fits on a floppy disk; no install required. No local mail storage, and no registry keys created. Messages can be viewed and saved/archived in plain text format to guarantee cross-client and cross-platform compatibility.

Efficiency. Header-based POP3 access lets you read and delete mail directly on server without downloading everything. Light-weight software is nimble even on old computers!

Supports POP3 and SMTP; MIME; base64 and UUencoded attachments; ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) Western European characters; and many other standard features.

Only in JBMail Plus: Ability to save multiple profiles and message flags/states. Mail is still kept on the server.

JBMail Plus

The free trial version of JBMail never expires or nags for registration. The limitations are that: (1) it can only save one profile to disk, and (2) message flags (read, replied to states) are not retained between sessions. In all other respects the free trial version is identical to the full version.

The full version (JBMail Plus) can save multiple profiles to disk, without limit, and retains all message flags/states in all profiles. This makes JBMail much more convenient for frequent use since you can painlessly access multiple mail accounts and see at a glance which messages you have already read and replied to. The software can be ordered online by credit card; our orders are processed by ShareIt.

JBMail Plus can be ordered online from PC-Tools.Net. The software is automatically delivered by e-mail upon receipt of payment (credit card, cheque, wire transfer). BENEFITS: Registered users receive JBMail Plus, a more capable version of the software. Customers can also enjoy 1 year free technical support by e-mail as well as free upgrades for 3 years.
