Product Description:

SnapMail is the cross-platform private messaging and file transfer utility for your office. Instantly send messages, files, reminders, and alerts on your network. Unlike instant messaging, SnapMail uses peer-to-peer technology and does not rely on Internet servers to send mail within your local network. This makes SnapMail a very fast in-house messaging system that complements your Internet email. All of your messaging can be conducted without fear of accidentally sending mail out of your company. In addition, there is no junk mail and no non-company e-mailing. You can be sure that everything in SnapMail is company business. SnapMail also connects remote offices securely across the Internet, creating a "virtual LAN".

SnapMail is plug and play software. It installs in a minute and is immediately usable. SnapMail configures itself and finds other users on the network without system administration.

SnapMail features include:
  • Seamlessly send files between Macintosh and Windows computers.

  • In addition to regular mail messages, send "Snaps" that notify the recipient with an alert pop-up. Respond directly to Snaps with a single mouse click using preconfigured "SnapBacks" (e.g. Take a message for me).

  • Send reminder messages to yourself or others that will arrive at some future time.

  • Activate an auto-reply message when you are busy or out of the office

  • Create templates for text or forms that you send often, including their intended recipients. Identify these templates with color icons that give your mail a personal touch.

  • Receive return receipts when your mail is read

  • Send attachments with your mail (including folders)

  • Manage your mail with folders and full search capability

  • Proofread your messages using a while-you-type built-in spell checker and spelling suggestions

  • Create groups, so you can send mail to a number of people with one easy selection

  • Choose how you will be notified of mail delivery with sounds, icons, and alert boxes

I have used this program for years and it is always a must in my office. I now use it to link my home, laptop and office with encrypted mail. I don't know what I would do without it. Tech support is excellent. Cross platform and not expensive.

SnapMail CommentaryPeer to Peer Model - Version: 4.1b6, 10/16/2003 09:49AM PST

Jeff Mincey
I assume that the absence of a central mail server means that the mail for each individual user is "anchored" to his own specific (and the same) computer. So organizations that want to provide for data backup of mail must then separately back up each client computer on the LAN. Also, users with a mail "account" at the office who then wish to send mail from another computer (such as from their home office) must presumably then engage a new SnapMail session and a different set of mail would then be created. Therefore, an individual's mail has the potential to be scattered among multiple machines rather than to be centralized and accessible over the network from a single source (as in IMAP).

This is not a criticism at all. I'm just trying to get my head around this different model or approach to mail. There are trade-offs to everything, and I want to know if my assumptions about the possible pitfalls to this product are correct.
