   Review - PopMan

   1.3 Beta 17 (Oct 18, 2008)

   Very polished. I've looked at and used them all. Of the current leaders in the market, Magic Mail Monitor currently (Oct, 2008)has SSL login issues with my server (AT&T) and Poptray is slightly buggy and sports a somewhat archaic interface. So, I continued to look for something better.
   
   Popman ably implements SSL, handles pop and web mail, and has many advanced configuration options for handling multiple accounts. It's only weakness is it's rather backwards implementation of spam rules. It took a couple of hours to study and write the rules necessary to block the porn and advertising prominent on the web.. For those not ready to write their own spam rules to the configuration file, white and black lists exist, to allow and block, as necessary.
   
   It implements skins for those who like choices in the interface.. Advanced users can dig in and write more complex spam blocking rules. I did, and now Popman is completely the application I sought out, configured to my needs. All in all, a terrific addition to my desktop.
   
   A thank you to the developer, Christian!
