This innovative freeware application enhances any desktop mail system (Outlook, Netscape, Lotus, etc.) with the ability to record, send and answer voice-mails. Many messages, particularly short ones, are now easier to complete. Dictating messages is up to ten times faster than typing.

The DictaMail features a specialized professional multimedia kernel. In addition to ease of use, it also ensures digital voice quality. The multimedia kernel compresses the recording automatically using the Windows-standard GSM format, reducing the file to 1/10th of it´s original size.

You can use virtually any PC-compatible microphone with the DictaMail. The developers recommend USB devices that support Plug & Play, e.g. a Telex USB Headset. Many professionals prefer the handy Philips SpeechMike Pro USB or SpeechMike Classic USB for enhanced dictation ergonomics.

DictaMail is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. DictaMail requires a minimum of 450 MHz processor speed and a minimum of 64MB RAM. More information on supported dictation hardware is available at http://www.dictanet.com.

DictaMail includes free e-mail support and an ongoing upgrade-service to ensure professional-grade availability.

Mail Clients software such as Opera, Pegasus Mail, Beonex Communicator, The Bat!, Eudora, Mozilla, Mozilla ThunderBird, are supported by the IMAP protocol developed internally. Other mail clients may normally work.

Normally all POP3 Clients should work.

PHP is supported thru IMAP functions. Functions as imap_open, imap_listmailbox, imap_headers, imap_fetch_overview, imap_body, imap_fetchbody, imap_close have been partially tested. Other functions may normally work. A sample application using PHP that displays mails is available for download (36Ko).

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are supported thru OpenSSL libraries.

The local SMTP and the local POP3 accounts are now limited to 128 (previously 32). The number of external accounts collected using the retriever is not limited (except by program capacity). There is no time or features limitation. If you need more accounts send me an email.

The program has been tested with 1700 simulated concurrent POP3 users on a Pentium P4 2.4 GHz 512 Mb running Windows NT 2000 Server. But the suitable range of concurrent users is more likely 100 to 400 concurrent users. (My home computers description).

MrPostman emulates a POP3 server and enables popular email clients like Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Mozilla, Calypso, etc., to download email from Hotmail or Yahoo! accounts.

MrPostman is Free Software, released under the terms of the GNU Public License so it is free.

MrPostman acts like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at one end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo! or Hotmail.

Currently supported webmails:

• hotmail
• yahoomails
• mail.com
• another.com

MrPostman is completely crossplatform because it is developped in Java. In order for it to work, you´ll need to first install Java Runtime Environment from Sun.

Portable Thunderbird is a fully functional package of Thunderbird optimized for use on a USB key drive. It has some specially-selected optimizations to make it perform faster and extend the life of your USB key as well as a specialized launcher that will allow most of your favorite extensions to work as you switch computers. It will also work from a CDRW drive (in packet mode), ZIP drives, external hard drives, some MP3 players, flash RAM cards and more (Note: It will not run from read-only media like a CD-R).

Virtually all e-mail clients use password caching because it´s very inconvenient to enter a password every time you get your mail. This means it is very easy to find out a password. The universal solution lies in POP3 server imitation. E-mail clients will reveal the password during the transaction. MPR uses this method to recover lost passwords.

MPR does NOT recover passwords to Web-based email accounts (such as hotmail, yahoo, usa.net, etc.)

MPR is intended to recover YOUR passwords only. It just extracts passwords stored on your computer. It is not a hacker´s tool, MPR does not allow to crack somebody else´s password (in most cases it is illegal).

This download is the executable only. You might need some VB support files located here: http://members.ams.chello.nl/a.boros/vblib/index.htm

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer.

GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag´n´drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with.

With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again. When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account.

The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures.

But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer. You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag´n´drop like you´re used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There´s still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 65 characters), and it doesn´t make full use of the secure internet protocols available.
