Mozilla Thunderbird is a skinnable, feature-rich email, calendar, task and instant messaging client with support for plugins and many protocols. It comes with advanced search tools, message filtering, Bayesian spam detector, built-in spell checker, mailbox compression and many more. Program features can be extended with add-ons, including a specialized version of email encryption tool GPG.

Email protocols include SMTP, POP3, IMAP (including uploads, albeit a date issue), NNTP and RSS and chat support for IRC, Twitter, XMPP, Google Talk, and Matrix. Also supports OAuth for use with accounts that require it instead of a password.

LWBlat GUI v1.4.3

lwc on 11 Nov 2024
  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 9 Nov 2024
  • Suggested by lwc

LWBlat is a utility email sender using SMTP or NNTP for posting to newsgroups with a friendly interface. The program is a front-end for the Blat console utility. Also, as modern public SMTP servers require SSL and OAuth which Blat doesn't support, this utility includes a simulator mode (embedded LWServer) to test various settings and see how a message would have been received had it used them.

Alternatively, LWBlat GUI Portable is in PortableApps.com Format and automatically adjusts paths and Blat's own registry settings (if used).

Important to know:
i.Scribe Free only support one (1) mail account.

Falaffel on 2017-07-26 21:38

Hy,

I tried zo use I.Scribe vie Imap with my Mailbox. Unfortunately the Imap functionality of I-Scribethis seems to be completely not in a good sape. The performance when synchronizing folder or moving/deleting Emails is very, very slow.
Could it be I am making anything wrong or the actual build has some bugs?

webfork on 2017-07-27 04:07

@Falaffel: I'm not an i.Scribe user so you probably want to try contacting support about that. Failing that, you might try listing something in our troubleshooting forums to see if someone has run into a similar issue.

POP Peeper v5.6.1 Updated

lwc on 17 Apr 2025
  • 21MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 11 Apr 2025
  • Suggested by falrob

POP Peeper is an email notifier that alerts you when you have new email on any of your accounts (IMAP [including uploads for paying users], POP3 and Webmail, but also RSS with a commercial plugin). You can also send emails using SMTP or through Webmail directly from POP Peeper.

Note: it includes OAuth support for accounts that require or prefer it instead of username/password, but Gmail isn't included. Since Google required money for it, Gmail's OAuth support was removed at late April 2025. Since Gmail removed direct login support during 2022, it means one must enable App Passwords+2FA in order to use this program with Gmail.

To enable secure connections, see forum instructions.

Still not fully unicode - message subjects display question-marks instead of unicode characters.
Perhaps this will be implemented in v6 - https://esumsoft.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?p=40784#p40784.

The website says this is compatible only up to XP, the README file says it's compatible up to Vista. When I tried it on my Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit computer, it didn't display any of my hard drives in the main window and only two hard drives under the partition tab. It's probably not 64-bit compatible. (v3.3 Beta)

I am Baas on 2012-03-06 16:21

Runs just fine on my Win 7 64-bit machine.

There is also (with the same architecure) Ashampoo Free Office:
https://www.ashampoo.com/en-us/office-free
a related, a bit older (2012), but rather compact, full-fledged compatible office suite.
One might need to supply an e-mail (may be temp) to get a product key.
To make it portable one just needs to have a file called "portable.txt" in its folder.

Emka on 2024-11-24 04:33

How do I actually update the portablized version? The in-program update tool won't work.

Andrew Lee on 2024-11-24 19:32

@Emka: Inconvenient, but one workaround is to download and create a portable version of the latest version, then copy the settings over from the old instance.
