Also support for proprietry formats and API's such as MAPI (import/export available only on windows), Outlook Express's MBX/DBX format and Eudora's address book is included. eml (single email), vCard, vCal/iCal and CSV (comma separated variables) contacts. Scribe supports importing and exporting mail, contacts and calendar events to many open formats such as MBOX. And if a virus does get in through by some other means, it won't be able to find your address book thus prevently it from mailing itself to all your contacts. The attachment list won't hide the real extension of a file either, which typically used by virus' to trick the user into openning an executable when the user thought it was a document. Scribe is not vunerable to email virus' like Klex because the HTML support is not provided by Internet Explorer but by a build in HTML control that has no scripting and no execute capability. Which will mean that the very core of Scribe will be open to new ways of receiving, sending and storing email. In the future Scribe will support plugins for mail source/sink and mail storage. So far you can write plugins for 3rd party MIME type viewers, directory services and text handling utilities. If anyone is interested in writing a plugin I can send you the libraries and documentation to do so. Scribe has a plugin interface that allows people to expand the capabilities of the application. Here is some information about translating the user interface text into another language. Scribe can be translated into any language. The unstable builds are public beta's for experienced users to test. Releases are tagged "stable" or "unstable" to help you to pick a version suitable for your purposes. People email bug reports and feature requests in to me and where possible they get incorperated into an update. I've been releasing updates about once a month since the start of 1999.
#ISCRIBE EMAIL CLIENT SOFTWARE#
But for those who want more features and would like to support me in producing this software there is a commercial version, with extra features, called InScribe. No time limits, no nagging shareware banners or number of trials. There is a legacy BeOS version that may be able to read/write to a Scribe mail folder. Run the version of scribe for the OS your running and access the email received in another OS. Allowing users to maintain all their email and contacts in one place. And when you delete that directory you don't have to worry about cleaning up after Scribe. All the data and settings for scribe are stored in it's directory. There's no dll's left lying around or registry settings to worry about.
Once you unzip the distribution file scribe is installed. Because Scribe uses a flexible flat file format for mail storage you can move email with huge attachments around with no effort at all, unlike some email clients that have to copy the entire email, including attachment to another file on disk causing unnecessary waiting for the user. No needless waiting around for things to happen (like Outlook). Mail sends and receives go as fast as your net connection allows. Great for those older machines that don't have gobs of RAM and HD. The usually memory footprint is about 3-4 MB with a reasonable sized mail folder loaded. You can easily use Scribe from a floppy disk. And even when downloaded takes up very little of your hard disk or memory while running. Scribe is quite small, around 500K to download. And don't worry about viruses, Scribe protects you from the usual security holes in other email clients with it's own virus safe HTML control and executable attachment protection.
#ISCRIBE EMAIL CLIENT WINDOWS#
Because Scribe runs on Windows and Linux you can take your mail with you when you change operating system. Updates are published regularly to respond to problems and to add features. It comes with Bayesian spam filter and translations to many different languages.
Scribe doesn't require installing or uninstalling and can be used from a removable drive without reconfiguration. Scribe is a small and fast email client with built-in contact database and calendar that supports all the major Internet mail protocols and uses international standards where possible.
