Publisher's description
From Poco Systems :Barca is an integrated e-mail program, a personal-information manager, and a project planner. Aimed at the professional and small-business market, Barca provides a single interface to manage personal and business information, plan and schedule tasks and appointments, communicate with others, and collaborate on team projects. The e-mail capabilities of Barca have built-in Bayesian spam filters, protect users from viruses and spam, and are not susceptible to the virus vulnerability of Outlook and Outlook Express. Barca is fast, easy to use, scriptable, and flexible. For administrators, moving Barca installation from one computer to another is as simple as copying the install directory, as Barca does not install any DLLs on the user's computer.

"It's Perfect For Small Business"
Pros: You can set up templates with automated responses for questions you get often. That's a big plus! The calendar feature is great and we found the program reliable, in general. Their forum at their website makes getting answers to questions fairly easy. I like the ease for deleting and moving junk mail. I'm still on trial mode but there is no doubt I'm purchasing this. I had Outlook and Outlook Express before and had all sorts of issues with reliability. I was glad to find Barca 2.
Cons: The junk mail filter isn't quite as strong as I thought it would be.

Version: Barca 2 build 3350
Pros: It works very quickly and efficiently. I used Outlook before and will never go back. It is one of the most customizable programs available today and I think will over take outlook in the future.

"The BEST and WORST email program"
Pros: There is a major PLUS and MINUS when it comes to using any mail program from POCOSYSTEMS.
I have been an avid user of their email programs for the past 6 years. I started with PocoMail and worked myself up to Barca.
Their email programs are first-rate. In fact, I prefer them to EUDORA, perhaps the king of all email software, simply because POCO and BARCA allow you to create customized stationary which is important for sending out business email with a letterhaed.
Additionaly, neither POCO or BARCA wil launch any attachments in their email, making this the safest email client to use.
Cons: First of all, when you purchase the software it is not yours for life, as you may think it is.
Pocosystems gives you the right to install the program TWICE -- either on the same computer or once on two separate computers.
I found this out the hard way when during the peak of a computer virus epidemic early last year, I found myself having to format my computer and reinstall my operating system at least 4 times over the course of 5 months.
After the second time reformatting my computer, I was no longer able to activate my copy of Barca. I was told by their support team that I only had permission to install it TWICE. In fact, the guy was highly rude to me and accused me of installing it on many different computers. More on that in a moment....
Their support is horrid. Go to their message support forum and complain and you'll discover its owner erasing any negative posts. When I complained about their licensing issues and suggested they make a LIFE copy available just like every other email software -- my message was promptly erased. PocoSystems does not want their message boards tarnished by negative posts.
I then went through a huge ordeal with the owner for months regarding obtaining a license code for the software after it was suspended. Because I had to do multiple formats on my computer I exceeded the 2 install limit. The owner was rude and hostile, accusing me of taking his software and installing it on multiple computers. It took me months of failed email replies and phone calls to the company and a threat to report them to the Better Business Bureau for the owner to finally allow me an additional license.
