Discusionus

Although email communication is rather simple nowadays, since you can either use an online service, or your own domain and client, they are still pretty complicated and cluttered. Hence, if you just want to quickly send and receive emails, you can make do with a simpler utility, without any additional features and functions to distract you.

Discusionus is a software utility that aims to achieve this, by providing you with a lightweight and simple-to-use interface, alongside a small, but powerful set of features you can use to have conversations with your friends. You can use your own email address to do so, as well as connect to your personal server to handle the messages.

In order to start a discussion, you simply have to create a new item using the appropriate menu and enter the requested information, including subject, the contents of the message and the participants who receive the emails. You are allowed to add as many participants as you wish to the list and all of them receive the same message.

Beside simple messages, it is also possible to send out actual emails with the help of the application. You can add attachments as well, which can take the form of any kind of document you want, regardless of its format or extension.

You can, however, set up the email server settings according to your preferences, by entering the desired incoming POP or IMAP protocol, port, STMP server and whether to use an SSL connection or not. Hence, thanks to this panel, you can use your own domain name and email, without having to register an account with an online service.
