yMail Portable

Made as the portable counterpart of yMail, this is an approachable email client that features a spam cleaner and support for other practical options, like a contacts manager, reminders, and tray notifications. It is wrapped in a simple and elegant interface, backed by some handy configuration settings.

As long as you have .NET Framework installed on your computer, you don't have to set up anything else. You can just drop the program files to a custom location on the disk and click the .exe file to launch yMail.

Otherwise, you can save it to a pen drive or other removable storage unit, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly. What's more, it doesn't modify Windows registry settings.

The GUI is user-friendly, made from a normal frame with a plain and simple structure, where you can easily toggle the mailer window and scanner viewing mode.

You can get started by setting up your email configuration. yMail offers support for POP3 and SMTP servers. It can scan and retrieve new mail at startup automatically while playing audio alerts, delete failed messages, as well as start minimized in the system tray. Plus, it lets you modify the default timeout for mail retrieval and checkup frequency, or ignore large messages.

As previously mentioned, the utility supports a spam filtering feature. You can change the initial disc locations for the spam archive, filters, and mail store, customize the message and preview font, edit your signature, as well as personalize colors for old and actual messages.

When composing new emails, you can attach files from the workstation, as well as include cc or bcc contacts. You can reply to a selected message, manage an address book with contacts, set reminders, and manually scan active accounts or remove spam from them.

The software application didn't put a strain on computer performance in our tests, thanks to the fact that it required low CPU and RAM to work properly. Its response time to commands were very good. No error dialogs popped up, and the app didn't hang or crash.

To conclude, users looking for an alternative client with a simplistic look and which focuses on standard email settings along with spam filtering should definitely give yMail a shot.
