[edit] Security Features

The developer has stated that SimpleMail was designed with security in mind. A key feature of SimpleMail is it's UAP (Unwanted Access Protection) system that removes all images, JavaScript, ActiveX, and other scripts from unwanted emails; this leaves just the message body and any attachments, increasing the security of email. Also, it is compatible with most anti-viruses which contain inbound and outbound email scanning enabled. To help further increase security, SimpleMail does not actually download email messages to the hard drive, but instead reads them directly from the mail server. A caveat to this, however, is that the messages on the server will need to be cleaned out (via a webmail interface) to reduce download times.
