Presentation on the topic of the client program e-mail. Mail program (e-mail client, mail client, mail client, mailer) software installed on the user's computer

There are a lot of mail programs, they differ among themselves by manufacturers, cost, functions and much more. What is a mail program?

mail program(email client, mail client, mail client, mailer) -- software, installed on the user's computer and intended for receiving, writing, sending and storing e-mail messages of one or more users (in the case of, for example, several accounts on the same computer) or multiple accounts of the same user.

The main functions of mail clients are receiving messages, providing them with viewing, sorting messages, automating the creation of response messages, and maintaining an address book.

Large email programs, so-called. "all in one", such as Mozilla Thunderbird, The Bat! and Microsoft Outlook, today combine the work of MSA, MDA and MRA in one application. Simpler mail user agents (eng. mail user agent, MUA), such as Mutt, are also mail programs.

Unlike mail server, the email client usually sends the message not directly to the corresponding recipient's server, but to the same mail server, which acts as a relay. This is usually the ISP's or company's mail server. Sending mail is most often carried out using the SMTP protocol.

The email client accepts mail from one or more mail servers, often the same server that sends it. Mail is usually received via POP or IMAP protocols.

Also, the functions of an e-mail client may include: sorting, storing messages, searching through the archive of messages, maintaining an address book, filtering received messages according to various criteria, converting formats, encryption, organizing interfaces with office programs and other functions.

The most common email programs used under different operating systems in 2014:

1 Microsoft Outlook-- a personal information manager with the functions of an email client and Microsoft's Groupware.

In addition to the functions of the mail client for working with email, Microsoft Outlook is a full-fledged organizer that provides the functions of a calendar, task scheduler, notebook and contact manager. In addition, Outlook allows you to track work with package documents. Microsoft Office for automatic compilation of a work diary.

Outlook can be used as a standalone application or as an email client. Microsoft server Exchange Server, which provides additional features for collaboration between users of the same organization: shared mailboxes, task folders, calendars, conferences, scheduling and reserving the time of common meetings, coordinating documents. Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server are a platform for organizing workflow, as they are provided with a system for developing custom plug-ins and scripts with which programming is possible additional features workflow (and not only workflow), not provided in the standard delivery.

2 The Bat! is an e-mail program for Windows OS. Developed by the Moldovan company Ritlabs. The program Bat! popular among Russian users, users from the former Soviet republics and some European countries. The main task of the program is to protect correspondence from monitoring by third parties.

It has many options for sorting messages, and also has a system for connecting additional extension modules (plugins) designed to protect against spam and viruses. As a rule, plugins can be downloaded from the site of developers of similar modules. The program has a built-in mail manager for POP3 servers.

The program has many tools to ensure the security of correspondence. Among them:

• - mailbox password protection
• - mail database encryption
• - Encrypt and sign emails with S/MIME and OpenPGP
• - blocking suspicious images
• - ignoring scripts and executable codes

In The Bat! you can configure automatic sorting of letters according to the specified parameters. The program is able to sort letters by sender, addressee, subject, letter text, tags, letter size, priority, date and other parameters. Among the available actions are moving, copying, exporting, printing letters, deleting, auto-reply, creating a reminder, launching an external application. It is possible to create general sorting rules that are valid for several mailboxes.

Virtual folders make it easier to work with email flow. In The Bat! it is possible to create virtual folders and use filters to customize the display of the necessary letters. Virtual folders do not contain letters, but links to them. Thus, using them allows you not to waste space by creating copies of letters.

Three levels of letter design templates are available: for an individual contact, for letters created in a specific folder, and for letters created in a specific mailbox. In The Bat! there are also quick templates that allow you to insert fragments of pre-typed text into a letter. Quick Templates may be common to all boxes.

Also in The Bat! I have an opportunity Reserve copy messages (in a common backup file or in a separate one for each mailbox) or folder, address book and settings at the request of the user or in automatic mode Scheduled. It is possible to protect backup password and adding comments.

For each mailbox, you can set administrator and user access rights. The administrator can limit the rights ordinary user in setting up the program and access to mailboxes.

3 Mozilla Thunderbird-- a free cross-platform open source program for working with e-mail and newsgroups, and with the installation of the Lightning extension, and with a calendar. It is part of the Mozilla project. Supports protocols: SMTP, POP3, IMAP, NNTP, RSS. Official builds are provided for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (i386), and the set of features on all platforms is the same. There are also third party builds for FreeBSD, Solaris, OpenSolaris, OS/2.

Thunderbird interface like a web browser Mozilla Firefox, is based on the XUL technology developed by the Mozilla Foundation. As a result user interface on all platforms looks the same as applications developed for that particular platform. Like Firefox, Thunderbird supports visual themes. By default, the program interface is similar to that familiar to users. Windows interface mail client Outlook Express.

Thunderbird automatically recognizes unwanted mail. You can also manually specify which emails are spam by "training" the program in this way. In addition, Thunderbird can store mail both in separate folders for each mailbox, and in a common one for everyone.

The letter can be displayed in several folders specified by the user based on filters. At the same time, in reality, the letter remains the only one and does not take up extra space, as if in different folders copies of one letter were kept.

4 Opera Mail(formerly known as M2) is an email and news client formerly built into the Opera browser and now a standalone email program. Its interface is slightly different from other email clients in order to better integrate with Opera. It has spam filters (automatic and trained - Bayesian (English Bayesian, by the name of the author of the theorem named after Thomas Bayes)), support for POP3, IMAP, SMTP and ESMTP protocols, newsgroups, news feeds RSS, Atom and NNTP.

Opera Mail uses a single database that stores the content of all emails and sorts them automatically by several parameters, such as type: simple emails and emails with attachments. This provides fast access to letters. The content of the letter can be viewed below the list of inboxes and in a separate window. Also, the Bayesian filter is used to automatically sort messages by various parameters. All messages located in the database are available under the menu item Read mail/Received view. Opera Mail has a traffic minimization feature that gives the user access to only the first lines of an email, rather than the entire email, thereby reducing data usage. Also one of the main innovations with the release Opera browser 9.64 is a feed preview. With its help, a page is generated containing the current information in the newsletter, and the user can read or subscribe to the newsletter using a special button. One of the disadvantages of the mail client since its inception was the inability to use formatting when writing a letter. This shortcoming has been fixed in Opera 10. Also in version 10 of the browser there was a built-in spell checker.

Opera Mail also has a contact manager and a simple IRC client that allows the user to connect to multiple servers at the same time. Private communication and file transfer between users is possible. Chats can be changed appearance by editing the CSS file (examples).

Opera 12.17- latest version browser that has a built-in email client. Now Opera Mail has been moved to a separate application.

5 Windows Mail(eng. Windows Mail) is a program for working with e-mail and newsgroups that comes with the operating system Windows Vista.

Unlike its predecessor, Outlook programs Express, Windows Mail is not considered as a component Internet Explorer. As such, the program will not be available for previous operating systems in the same way that Internet Explorer 7 was made available for Windows XP.

Privacy and security features are represented by support for SSL / TLS standards for traffic protection, as well as S / MIME for encrypting and signing letters, third-party software can also be used for this. Spam protection uses Microsoft SmartScreen technology, as well as third-party programs. Windows Mail also contains built-in anti-phishing tools and the ability to integrate external anti-virus modules.

• On May 30, 2007, Microsoft first released a beta version of a new email client -- Windows Live Mail, something like an improved Windows versions Mail, for operating systems Windows Vista and Windows 7, which is designed to replace it. Further Windows client Live Mail included in the package Windows programs Live Essentials.
• 6 IBM Notes(also IBM Notes/Domino, old name -- Lotus Notes) -- software, a platform for automating the collaboration of workgroups (Groupware), which contains the means of e-mail, personal and group electronic calendars, instant messaging services and a runtime environment for business interaction applications.

The product was first released in 1989 by the American company Lotus Development, which was taken over by IBM in 1995.

Beginning with version 9.0.0, IBM rebranded the IBM Lotus Notes/Domino platform by changing the system logo and removing the term "Lotus" from the name.

The main features included in the base distribution of IBM Notes/Domino version 9 (when using IBM Notes Client Standard type):

• - execution environment for group activity automation applications ( programming code executed on the client, server and web browser);

• - replication - synchronization between remotely remote database instances;
• - data integration services DECS (Domino Enterprise connection services);
• - means of storing attached files outside of DAOS (Domino attachment and object services) databases;
• - Support for remote debugging of IBM Domino server applications.
• 7 The Bee- a universal mail client from the domestic group of software developers AV(T) Lab. The program is free. The main advantage of this program is its size and ability to work without installation from any media. The Bee executable file weighs only 450 kilobytes. If necessary, use SSL protocol two more library files are required, but in this case the application will not take more than 750 kilobytes of disk space. Despite such a modest size, to put it mildly, The Bee, in addition to working with e-mail, provides the ability to communicate via ICQ, as well as read the news.

As a tool for working with e-mail The Bee provides the most necessary standard functions, without any frills and any "bells and whistles". When creating messages for sending by e-mail, the program supports only file attachment from additional functions. You will not see any emoticons, sound effects and other nice additions here. However, The Bee does not pretend to be the main mail client in your system. Its main task is to provide fast and convenient access to e-mail, news conferences and ICQ services in any suitable place, when needed. And The Bee copes with this task perfectly.

   Everyone, even the most prosperous person, always has certain problems. They end only when the person himself “ends”. However, you can approach your problems in different ways.

5. The concept of information

   Document

   The world around us is very diverse and consists of a huge number of interconnected objects. To find your place in life, from early childhood, together with your parents, and then with your teachers, step by step, you will learn all this diversity.

It seems to us that the genre of "paper" writing has gone into oblivion. In fact, one should not consider various accounts and agendas as epistolary creations.

Electronic mailing address any computer owner probably has it, and many of them have several of them: corporate, personal and for registration on various web resources. I didn’t check my “soap” in the morning, consider that the day didn’t set: this principle has long and firmly rooted in the minds of modern people. However, progress does not stand still, and now a smartphone or communicator is enough to check e-mail.

And some champions of general “mobilization” rashly predict an imminent oblivion emails, because they are used to communicating only with the help of mobile phones or instant messengers. Indeed, the latter have learned to transfer files and easily work as a video phone. Let's leave such a naive belief in the imminent death of email services to hotheads, since the leading players in this business, which have turned into social networks, earn on something else, and in addition to mailboxes that have not gone away, they offer everyone search engines, microblogs, chats, navigation service and more.

Discussion of the merits and demerits of e-mail programs has long been the subject of a senseless pastime called "holivar". For someone, a web interface is enough for their eyes: all reputable mail hosting services offer features no worse than those found in some mail clients. HTML email fans will find their favorite tools, but bare text fans won't be offended either. Address book online? Don't worry - it's all for you.

However, email programs cannot be written off. Firstly, corporate requirements cannot be dismissed so easily. Secondly, how do you want to be if you need to work with mail in the absence of an Internet connection? Waiting by the sea for the weather is sometimes like death, and an important document in the attachment is needed immediately. Thirdly, addiction to email clients is just a matter of taste, and other people's whims should be respected.
Among the one and a half dozen mail programs we are considering today, you will not find either Outlook Express or " Windows Mail» .

We would be happy to introduce you to the Marlin Mail program, but the developer, unfortunately, safely buried his project almost 8 years ago, she is quite good and feels great in the operating environment Windows systems 7.

ClawsMail 3.7.8

Developer: The Claws Mail Team OS: Windows XP and above, Linux, Solaris Distribution volume: 12.8 MB Russification of the interface: http://claws-mail.org

If this program has taken root in the repositories of most GNU / Linux distributions for a long time, then before Windows boot- we had to "touch" the installer for a long time to the file with the laconic name gpg4win - light - 2.1.0 - rc1 - svn 1622 - colin.exe. As you may have guessed by now, Claws Mail fully supports GnuPG encryption. The relatively large size of the installation file is due to the need for additional components. Supported protocols are POP3, SMTP, IMAP4rev1, NNTP, Usenet News, and SSL. First of all, we recommend viewing a solid list software settings and optionally activate additional modules.

Claws Mail does not impose its services in spam filtering, but the necessary bsfilter.dll plugin is already ready for military work. Other modules will allow you to read news feeds in RSS 1.0 / 2.0 or Atom formats, view PDF files and notify you of new emails. Those wishing to get support for vCalendar messages, similar to that offered by MS Outlook, will not be left out either. In our opinion, this is quite a worthy product with minimal features that can be extended through plugins. Alas, text formatting and other embellishments are not provided in the letters. It remains to be comforted by the support of skins.
