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

SnapMail ReviewGood Cross Platform LAN email (non-internet) - Version: 4.2.3, 10/8/2005 05:12PM PST

MrLarryB2k1
This is a good application for use on my combination Windows and Macintosh network which is "secure" in that it does not involve the internet. Email messages and files are sent directly from one PC to a Mac or another PC on this and only this local area network (LAN). This prevents information from leaking out onto the internet.

I have conducted a search, and have not bound any other LAN only cross platform email program that does not require a server, and is secure from outsiders.

SnapMail CommentaryResponse to zridling - Version: 4.2b1, 1/12/2004 09:37AM PST

For different opinions to that posted by zridling, you might like to take a look at the reviews for SnapMail on the Mac side of VersionTracker, where we have been around for many years. It appears that perhaps zridling has missed the point of SnapMail entirely, because indeed if you are trying to use it as a single user that's not what it was designed for. SnapMail is a messaging tool for small to medium sized LANs, and as such you will find it quite unique in that environment. Far from being hard to set up, on your local LAN SnapMail finds all users instantly. With its built in reminder system, templates, and "SnapBack" instant messages, you'll find that it is much more useful and productive than other in-house messaging systems. Finally, if you don't like how "loud" it is, in the preferences window SnapMail allows you to set the volume of each sound played separately.
