LCARS Mail

LCARS Mail is an easy-to-use and intuitive e-mail client that uses the LCARS graphical interface known from the Star Trek computer terminals.

If you're a fan of the famous science fiction franchise, then you should definitely try this application.

The application doesn't take long to install, but you will need to make some adjustments in order to make it your default e-mail provider. First LCARS Mail needs to know through which server you want to send and receive your e-mails.

The server to receive e-mails is a POP3 server (POP: Post Office Protocol), that to send an e-mail is an SMTP server (SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

The application allows users to adjust the font type and size, set a color for messages, quotes, links and headers. It comes with lots of nice animation and you can adjust its speed.

There's the option to block the application from displaying HTML and use plain text instead. You can deactivate scripts, block background pictures, use transparent background of headers table or stop the application from displaying the scroll bar in its default colors.

The animations in the settings menu can get annoying, since they take a few seconds to display options.

It has all the neat tools for checking your email and it arranges new messages into inbox, outbox, drafts, sent and trash folders. It doesn't have a spam folder, which is quite inconvenient. You can write new emails, mark the ones that you've read or search for certain ones by typing in keywords.

There's the option to reply to e-mails, forward them to contacts, view attached files or print them. It doesn't come with the option of setting notifications but it does have some filtering rules for e-mails.

LCARS Mail is a fun and interesting e-mail client, but only for people who are fans of the Star Trek franchise.
