Profimail - Yummy Email From Lonely Cat Games

So here it is. A short writing about Profimail And ProfiExplorer, with a few screenshots. My aim, as you should know, is to write about things I care about, and like(sometimes dislike). Today its all email. In specific, mobile email, the chance to get away from the desktop a bit more.

I have used Nokia's integrated email application for a week or two, before I got Profimail, and I would be honest in saying that the Nokia email app, is by all means sufficient. It does the trick, has enough features to just do the email job...

PS: click the screenshots for larger views.

Profimail, on the other hand, is one of those application you can use the words "fully fledged" on. There is not a dime being wasted if you buy Profimail (yes, its non-free, but its quality), and there won't be any dissapointments.

I have come to expect quite alot from my email clients lately, be it mobile or pc based, since I get a list of email daily, and send almost as much. I like being spoiled with features that makes it all fun, as well as productive. Profimail does that, by making things easier, and more entertaining.

The menu system and layout, with the easy navigation makes it a breeze to learn how to use Profimail, if there is even a need to 'learn' it. For my screenshots here, I have not much email to display since I recently cleared/reinstalled stuff on my mobile, and I didn't feel like downloadeding the days mail for the sake of screenshots, that is just too much over the top.

All options existing in a standard pc email application, can be expected in Profimail. Rules, Sent mail, Saved, font and image configs, size, headers being displayed etc.

There is also a great traffic byte counter, which is nice when you don't have a data bundle yet (like yours truely here), and for monitoring the email sizes as you download them.

Attachments like images and zip archives is no problem at all, just open them in profimail.

The configuration is simple, setup your account/s, go through the menus, tune all the settings the way you like them, and voila. With support for attachments, signatures and priority settings, as well as the sorting orders, what else do you need...



These three screenshots demonstrates the ability of profimail to change the colour schemes being used. This is handy, one does get tired of the same colours week after week. These are only three, but there is more available.










Updating the mailbox is as easy as doing it. Click update, it logs in, downloads email, sends mail, and bob's your uncle.

Obviously its almost essential to have a bluetooth keyboard for your mobile, since writing emails on keypads is not for the faint of heart.

Just as a sidenote, included with Profimail, is Profiexplorer. This is a pretty impressive file manager. I am quite used to FEXplorer, and I love it, but Profimail's solution is very usable in my opinion. I guess I use whatever is closest at that moment. Profimail's interface is just so smooth and soft, it feels great.
