Element Mail

Element Mail is an easy-to-use email client that comes loaded with handy options, such as an address book, feed reader, and calendar. It's geared toward all types of users.

The installation procedure doesn't take long, and the only notable aspect about it is that it needs .NET Framework installed. It's necessary to set up your email account at startup by specifying the display name, email address, POP and SMTP servers, along with the user ID and password.

The tool can be instructed to send messages after POP authentication (POP before SMTP) and use SMTP authentication, as well as to enable APOP when receiving mail, leave the received mail on the server. Plus, you can select the preferred language, charset and encoding mode for message creation, add a signature, or toggle between LAN and dial-up connection mode.

The main application window has a clear-cut structure, enabling you to explore the inbox, outbox, pending messages, draft folder, and trash can. Element Mail features a feed reader for reading news and a calendar for scheduling appointments and other important events.

It's possible to forward messages, attach files, manage an address book with email contacts, synchronize the program to the SMTP server, stop all ongoing tasks with one click, print information, organize emails into multiple folders, import data from EML files and export it, optimize the database, as well as delete old files.

There were no kind of problems in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software utility didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the computer, running on low CPU and RAM.

To wrap it up, Element Mail is an approachable email client with intuitive options for all user levels.
