Mulberry Email Software: Security Features, Installing Mullberry And Questions

With adware, spyware and countless other viruses out in cyberspace, it is important to have a secure email account. People use email for many private reasons: buying merchandise on credit, talking to friends, even writing love letters. Hackers who can gain access to information in email accounts can steal a person's identity, trash someone's credit rating and wreak other havoc. Mulberry email software, a free email provider, offers users security features and versatility.
Mulberry email software began in 1995 when Cyrus Daboo created the software programs for MAC OS. Since then, Mulberry email software has grown to work with Mac OS X, Windows and Linux systems. Economically, the company has seen rough times. In fact in 2005, the parent company Cyrusoft International, Inc. filed for bankruptcy. Until August of 2006, when Daboo bought the company back, all operations were halted. Once Daboo got back on track however, he released Mulberry email software version 4.0.5 for free.
Heinz Tschabitscher, a reviewer of email software programs, gives the newest free Mulberry email software version, Mulberry 4.0.8, four out of five stars. He says the Mulberry email software has power, versatility and full features. Tschabitscher states another pro is the software program's security features such as secure messaging. He also states for efficient email editing, Mulberry email software provides text macros. Text macros use keywords to insert commonly used phrases in an email message, which can be a huge time-saver. Tschabitscher says however, that the Mulberry email software has faults. He claims that the Mulberry email software is slightly difficult to use, and it does not have a good spam filter. Also, he states although the Mulberry email software has advanced search capabilities that allow the user to find mail, the search features are time consuming. Other features that Mulberry 4.0.8 boasts include: powerful filters, custom labels, plain text, rich text, HTML coding, Unicode for international email and the ability to save search criteria.
In order to install Mulberry users can download the software programs at mulberrymail.com. To install Mulberry on a Mac OS X, it only takes three easy steps; for a Win 32 it takes four; and for a Linux x 86 it takes five. For support, users can go to mulberrymail.com where they can access a bug reporting page, a FAQ page and contact information.
With over 500,000 users worldwide, Mulberry is one of the major software programs. And because the download is free and the product is versatile, the user really has nothing to lose. Instead of suffering with other email providers, the user can have efficient, secure, private and personalized email.
