Publisher's Description

Minimail is a small, convenient and easy to use utility for the creation and sending of e-mails. Its purpose is to provide a quick way to send emails at times when opening a full-featured mail client such as Microsoft Outlook is inconvenient or even impossible. Minimail is resizable and has options that help prevent mistakes in email addresses or the e-mail itself.

Nice little program, neat and simple. Minimail is perfect at what is promised: ability to to write and send emails without the need to open a bulky, full-featured email client. Totally free, no ads, no spyware.

nice program, does what it says on the tin.. small email sending client.

One feature it needs though (IMO) is ability to send mail without specifying an smtp server (i.e. has smtp built into the client)

Seems very impressive. Once installed i trequires less than 200K.
It is very useful for testing mail server installations, or for sending emails when you are out of your normal location.
It would be a lot better, if Pawsoft people could include a mini pop3 reader in order to fast reply and view email messages.
It seems to be a kind of adware, because at the end of each email sent appears the text "Sent with Pawsoft Minimail - a FREE download from http://www.pawsoft.co.uk";, but do not worry, it does not install nothing on your computer.

Are you completely insane? MiniMail is neither adware nor shareware. It is a very small download and it is free, despite what you claim, so if you don't like it that is your opinion and you don't have to use it.

Btw, this program is not freeware in any sense. One version is (apparently, though I fail to understand how, since the ad is for the actual app itsself) is paid for by my allowing the ad to appear. The other version you must pay cash for. If anyone from Beta News is reading this, please change the app's designation from "freeware" to "adware" or "shareware".

Hi guys, let's get something straight here? MiniMail is a kind of Adware in the OLD definition of adware - that's a software using advertising. Hi, a site as Freewarehome as totally deny any Adware-Spyware listed on their site - still they have advertising banners on their site! No conflict here, as advertising is not the problem itself - the problem all happened when companies as Aureate/Radiate and alike came along and produced what we without any problem can call "spyware". So today the definition Adware have become another way of saying it's Spyware - two .txt lines is hardly spyware. If PsyPab was able to implement programming in clean text lines - well then he is pretty good. If someone think the four dots over each "i" in MiniMail is some kind of electronic microfilm executable installing spyware in your computer - well then it's an amazing technique - LOL. So come on guys, MiniMail is having four .txt line in each mail sent out promoting MiniMail - that's advertising, it's NOT Spyware. To xVariable, please go ahead and do likewise with your attitude - it's maybe an expected attitude on kindergarden level, hardly among people who actually try to evaluate software in it's beta stage...

SirHardi, if you could read the News section of the program before writing you can find a point saying: "Removed Advertising from TMS.". What you think it mean? that now TMS is AD Free. There's no banner, no ads, nothing of this inside the program. Hoping it will make all user like you more willing to test this program.

TMS Now is AD-Free. No more BANNER, No more ADS. In future it could become shareware but no more ads insiede the program.

Hoping this is the last time Ii've to write this.

It would be nice if you actually informed people on the prodcut's homepage that it is adware. That implies something amiss.

I really dig the speed of the program and the fact that I can make it my default mail program. However, I'm not happy with the ads that are sent out with each email. I guess it's a small price to pay. I'm currently using Popcorn as my mail program for anyone who cares. http://www.ultrafunk.com.

Actually I have lots of MiniMail users who are more than happy with it (so yeah, it does normally work). Please be a bit more constructive and tell me what exactly doesn't work and not be so vague.
