Portable i.Scribe

Portable i.Scribe is an email client which supports all major Internet protocols while using most of the international standards available.

Similarities with other email applications stop when it comes to privacy and system integration. Compared to other mainstream programs that are deeply system integrated, Portable i.Scribe is self-contained.

Since this is the portable version of i.Scribe, all users have to do is to unzip the package in a specified folder and everything will stay in the initial installation location. This way, they can operate the tool right from a USB stick without worrying about leftover files in your host PC.

Although simple in design, its main advantage is the familiar look. All the main options, buttons, and commands are commonly shared by all major email hosting apps so new users won’t spend a second guessing where important features can be found.

Commands to write new mails, add contacts, as well as send and receive messages are all in the upper left corner of the screen, just like you’d find them in Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird. The main folders, like ‘Inbox,’ ‘Outbox,’ ‘Sent,’ and so on can be found also in the left side panel. All is familiar and in the same place.

Users can add signatures to their messages, use quotes, activate sound notifications for new mails, and prompt the program to automatically delete executable files for security reasons. Users can add proxy parameters, like HTTP and SOCKS5, and create log files.

Being the portable version of i.Scribe, the utility performs extremely well on all available machines. Portable i.Scribe does not put an excessive strain on CPU or system memory.

Overall, Portable i.Scribe is an excellent portable alternative to other more popular email hosting applications. It offers its users a great level of portability, security, and personal intimacy by leaving no traces in the system it works on. It emulates to perfection all other features complex email tools have to offer to their users.
