Portable MesNews

Portable MesNews is an intuitive application that offers a quick and easy way to check and read newsfeeds from your webpages, set multiple servers and groups, and send messages to your friends and acquaintances with ease.

As the name implies, the tool doesn't require any installation to run, which means it can be copied on external drives and started on any PC. The provided interface is clean and easy to learn, divided into the file tree, a message pane, and a basic web browser window. A nice touch is the option to customize the tree the way you see fit and enter more than one server and group.

To load the feeds, you first have to set the default settings, such as group name, organization, email and reply-to, along with ongoing email options (e.g. address, SMTP, port, username, password).

From there, you can also add a personalized signature and formulation, as well as pick the charsets. Creating a new server requires these settings, along with server address, local name, and authentication credentials.

You can manage incoming, received, and sent messages, filter them based on different criteria (name, subject, size, ID, IP), and choose the desired display method (marked, threads). From the preferences, the app lets you change the font, text size and colors, as well as customize program sounds and its layout.

Taking everything into consideration, Portable MesNews is a user-friendly program that comes in handy when you want to check and read your newsfeeds with minimal effort, send and receive messages, and set up groups and servers. Since it's portable, the utility doesn't create new registry entries, nor leaves traces after it's been deleted.
