"I am updating my review!"
Version: Compass Universal Mail Client 2.80.10
Pros
The publishers of this program are AWESOME!
They contacted via email after fixing the bugs I mentioned in my earlier review.
All bugs that I could find have been fixed!Cons
I'm rating this 3 stars now instead of 1 star!
I would give this 5 stars, except for other not so serious issues I found.
When initializing the program it doesn't remember window sizing or window positioning, and it doesn't remember email setups.Summary
.
As for the program remembering email setups, this can be a plus in regards to security, as the program is designed at this time.
I would still like to see this program being coded to NOT associating itself with IE or any other browser.
Then, the security could be even more sure and secure.
Since the program is working off of Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer cookies, it is not as secure as it could be if it were a stand alone program.
Also, if this program were stand alone there could be more accounts available per email provider.
I have at least 3-4 accounts per email provider.
The window sizing and position issues are not that much of a problem, but it would be nice if this program could remember when I maximize the program's window during the previous use of the program.
One last comment ...
When I am testing freeware I do an extra test that is very important to me personally.
I am also testing for portable localized capabilities.
What I do is install a program into my downloads folder on my main hard drive.
I then copy that folder onto another external hard drive.
Then I uninstall the program from my downloads folder on my main hard drive using the add/remove programs executable.
I then initialize the copied program that is now on my external drive.
Doing these extra steps helps in showing if a program can work after a complete uninstall of the originally installed program.
You would be surprised how many freeware programs put hundreds of files all over the registry and all over the hard drive!
This program seems to only put files into the main folder of the program.
It appears that only the cookies are added to the PC.
As far as I can tell this program is working in a portable and localized way.
I'm not certain what traces are left on my PC from initializing this program other than cookies left on my PC.
This could be fixed if the program did not rely on Internet Explorer.
I still stand on my promise about getting the word out about this program once these issues have been addressed!
One thing is certain ...
I can keep this program on my eternal drive as an email program!
IT WORKS GREAT!!!
