MCSDallas (www.mcsdallas.com) has released an updated version of their email client. Calypso v3.0 offers enhanced message capabilities like html formatting, mail templates, and vcards. This client supports multiple accounts and/or users and has excellent filtering capabilities.

I was so impressed with v2.x that I decided to purchase 3.0 online as soon as I tried it, and I *never* buy anything with my credit card! :-)

FWIW, I'm an owner of Eudora Pro 4.1. It no longer resides on my system as of today.

I downloaded it just now. I still like Outlook... sorry http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif]

But it is better than Pegasus - I have so many email clients installed, and I still can't find one I like better than Outlook (it has it's problems too, but I like it's interface).

Hearts, you download it, try it out, and if you like it you send them money (credit card) and they send you a registration number that unlocks the features that are disabled in the trial version - in this case, 30 days limit. So you already have the program. Some companies offer CD versions, or the demo is a different program altogether so you download the full version, etc. It just depends on the company.

Like mine, where it's limited to 30 minutes per use. I may change that to something else, like 30 days, or both, to get people to register.

But anyway, never used Eudora, and if this thing is better, I'll just stick with Outlook (Express, by the way. I don't have Outlook 98 yet, and I still like it better than any of the others).

whoah buddy.. I downloaded this mother and I have to say... HOLY sh**. hehehe.

I haven't decided exactly if I like it or not.. i emailed myself to see how it looked in Netscape.. giggle.

I like the feature when you are sending off email and it asks if you want to add that address to your address book. I see you can set up autoresponders.. haven't tried it out yet. *but I did notice* http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

I am almost inclined to agree with Justin, which isn't all to often, cuz I purposely try to disagree with him just to keep him on his toes! *giggle* I find MS Outlook user friendly and I love their stationary thing! AND my favorite feature is.. IT IS FREE! It downloads multiple accounts and easy to set up.

However, there was this little feature that I liked on calypso. It is password protected!! *I was impressed with that*

There was lots to see and lots to try and the one thing I didn't like, was there seemed to be all kinds of options I had no idea where to begin poking around first! I couldn't figure out how to adjust my word wrap to the outgoing mail. I found it once, then I lost it.

anyways.. I guess it was wayyyyyyyyyyy too early for me to give my reviews on this program, as I am kinda in a bit of a daze over my first fifteen minutes of it.

I can say.. I used a lot less brainpower using MS OUTLOOK!

I got a new toy, and I will play during the entire evaluation period!

Hearts laid this on us:

I found the word wrap again. I think I am gonna keep playing with this program. It is definitely worth trying out.. the more I use it the more I actually like it!

Calypso is a little confusing to set up and use, at first. The programmers had their own ideas about what should go where versus using what seems to be a "standard Windows format" layout favored by others.

Outlook98 was my mail client for a long time. Outlook Express didn't have the filtering capabilities I needed, Outlook98 did. Still, I found it to be rather cumbersome, and I never did like the personal scheduler, calendar, reminder, nose hair trimmer, etc., built into the program.

Eudora Pro has some awesome mail handling capabilities, but the code seems to get sloppier with each new version. Calypso has the same features but doesn't consume my resources (try running Eudora with about a dozen mail folders open), plus it's not merely a sideline for MCSDallas as Eudora is with Qualcomm.

Well worth $24.95. MS can give away all the free products it wants, but I won't change my mind! http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

I guess I just don't hate M$ as much as most... I do hate their business practices, but I like their products (mostly). They got where they are for a reason, and that reason is that most people, admittedly or not, like their products.

I find Express's filtering fine for me. There are a few things that tick me off about it, but nothing I can't get around. I have turned off the calendar, scheduler, and most others - I do like the nose hair trimmer, though. Just need to keep the clippings from falling into your emails...

I think I'm used to the "common look and feel" of Windows programs. Being a programmer kinda makes me a little biased, but I have to admit, if I download a Windows program using proven standards, I know immediately where to find anything, or at least where to look. My program doesn't look like a typical program from the face, but once you right click, or open the Options or Open File dialogs, it's very Windows standard like. It fully complies with the "Designed for Windows 98" logo requirements (I just haven't applied for that yet).

Another thing that made me delete Calypso faster than it downloaded was the fact that while configuring one of the pop accounts it caused an Illegal Operation and crashed. I hate when a program does that. A program should never make assumptions about input. Besides that, error trapping is very simple with the Win32 API. A couple of extra lines of code and you're done. Divide by zero all you want and trap the errors before Windows can intercept and crash it. I guarantee you won't get that sort of error in any of my programs (other errors and bugs, possibly, but not easily trappable ones like Illegal Operation or GPF).

I didn't delete it right then, but I was pretty disappointed already. It seemed like a nice program with a lot of powerful features, but for now Outlook stays. I'm too picky about things like the interface and crashing. I did want to try out Eudora, but it sounds like a resource hog. I run Outlook 24/7, and have never noticed any bogging.

Ok, before I sound like a software reviewer/critic, I'll just stop now. Please don't take my opinions too seriously (Hearts never does http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif), I just like to have something to say. I talk just to hear my own keyboard...

Anyway, it's always a matter of opinion.

Your mailer is violating 822bis section 2.3.

Calypso isn't compliant, and qmail (FQ's mail server program thingy) actually spots this and lets you know that your mailer (Calypso) is generating mail that will not be readable in certain other mail thingys.

Um, trying to be non-tech here.. I think bare LF (line feed) means it's using a line feed, or a blank line, somewhere it shouldn't. Or it might mean it's supposed to be CRLF and it's just LF - I think the first one sounds more like it.

Non compliant. Hmm, more firepower http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

I like qmail. When it returns a mail, it says:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at futurequest.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
That's funny http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif Although I suspect a certain sysad may have toyed with the failure message a little...

oh no.. i violated the internet mailing system cuz I downloaded the latest version of Calypso?

I am gonna miss this cute little musical email program.. http://www.aota.net/ubb/frown.gif

is it because I used a word wrap? I just don't like emails having to be read scrolling to the right forever, i find that kinda rude.

well, I am kinda curious to see what Zeegraf has to say about this.. cuz he uses it, and he likes it, and he didn't say nothing about violating qmail.

it can't be fixed?

Justin
02-17-1999, 03:07 AM
It's kinda like when a browser doesn't format HTML or CSS properly - not conforming to the industry standards. I don't think word wrap has anything to do with anything on that. Outlook does the word wrapping automatically, though http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

To fix, it would need to be rewritten (recompiled). I didn't even know it was musical. I had a CD going on the stereo at the time (AC/DC - Hells Bells).

By the way, the UBB adds http:// to the URL, so that ftp link needs to be cut/pasted to work.

Are you sending the mail in rich text format? Change your mailbox preferences so that mail is sent as plain text and see if that works. I've never had any problem with Calypso sending mail through the Futurequest server, but did have a problem with another email account I hold through HotPOP.com. It refused to accept html formatting and gave me the same error message you received from qmail.

I'm not enough of an expert to troubleshoot these things, so have forwarded the info to MCSDallas. Their tech support is quick an courteous, so we'll see what they have to say.

02-17-1999, 08:14 PM
I wonder if the HTML or rich text mode could have caused that. I almost wish I hadn't deleted it so hastily now, so I could figure that out. I never did send any mail with it - only checked it.

I always use plain text unless I'm replying to an HTML message. I don't see the point in wasting the extra overhead myself. But I'm not so against it that I won't read mail if it's HTML (I know someone like that). I just don't send like that myself unless it's a reply.

But I guess it could be a bug in the formatting. All I know is you're lucky that qmail isn't in Indiana - running around in public with a naked LF is a jailable offence!

Oh, BTW, if I had known it was a musical email program it might have gotten deleted even faster - I turned off all of my Windows sounds, and ICQ is giving me trouble... it won't shut up (that's why it's hardly ever on).

Like Zeegraf said, let's just see what their tech support says. Any good programmer would answer all mail...

hi Justin...

YES... I came here to give my update on this dilema. I had to turn off the "html" feature to use for my heartsweb account. SO this program is NOT all that it is cracked up to be. What good is a feature if you can't use it? http://www.aota.net/ubb/frown.gif

I have emailed tech support thirty minutes ago and still waiting to hear from them. Obviously they don't have Deb answering their emails. http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

and JUSTIN.. I always figured you to be sooooooooo smart.. well honey, I have a tip just for YOU. http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

GO to your ICQ preferences.. and turn off your sound! (under "events")

and as with most anything.. you can opt NOT to have the sounds when you recieve new email with calypso. It has a lot of features that I really like, that is why I want it to work for me!

And I don't mind having to turn off the html thingie, cuz I usually keep important outgoing emails, so it would be rather wasteful of me to send them in HTML. IF I want them to have a website, I would build them one! *EG*

hearts

PS... Zeegraf, thank you for that tip .. after searching and poking, I found what you suggested. http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Justin
02-17-1999, 11:54 PM
Well, ICQ has the options to turn off the normal sounds, but in 99 there are new ones - every key you press makes an awfully annoying click sound and that happens even when you turn off all sounds. I am guessing that when it was upgraded they put those options in a defferent area.

In my opinion, sounds shouldn't be on by default, at least if it's going to click every time you hit a key!

But anyway, I do format mail in HTML on occasion, so that sucks bad. Once in a while, when I really want to shout, I make the font HUGE and all caps and I go off. So not having HTML leaves you with just regular old caps. Not even bold ones.

Well, let's see if their tech support is up to par...

It *has* to be in the formatting... I just tried to send an html mail through fquest's mail server, and the error message popped up. I was able to send the same message through the mail account I have through my ISP. Changing the message back to plain text, the fquest server happily accepted it. Note that my ISP uses sendmail rather than qmail.

Methinks we have a definite buggie to report to the Calypso folks. BTW, I don't think their tech support operates 24/7 like someone else we know. http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif I did get an autoresponse, however. Reckon they close the doors at 5:00 pm like normal people. :P

Jacob Stetser

Well, qmail was originally coded in pink and purple with little 'Hello Kitty' faces all over the place and called cutemail. And it was really easy to use. It was written by a ten-year old girl.

And then the brother of cutemail's programmer came along, made it kinda dark and smoky and had lots of things rolling around, and called it cuemail. He was a 17-year old male pool shark.

And then the father of the two cutemail and cuemail programmers got it, thought it was pretty cool, but that it needed to be more mysterious and hard to grok, so he added some spaghetti here and there and made it do a lot of things with queues and called it queuemail.

And then a group of geeks formed a club called the Internet, thought it might be cool to rewrite the code so only geniuses like Andrew could grok it, and in order to make it even harder to understand, they called it qmail.

Hee hee.

Seriously, I think the queue part has something to do with it. qmail uses queues and splitting up of tasks extensively, from what I've read.. divide and conquer sort of thing.

or perhaps it's merely an outgrowth of the Q collective (Trekkie reference) and it's not meant for human understanding?

hey Don...

I have an update for YOU.

I HAVE JUST NOW gotten word back from calypso.. and here is what is up.

They only sent you one .dll file for this problem, and today, they sent me two.. would you like for me to forward this additional file? MailMgr.dll

I had a serious crash with Calypso.. seems I had an awful time accepting their file via their mail program, the file came as my email.. you shoulda seen it.. it looked like a bunch of odd coding? I have been smart, as I am testing this program, I have been leaving all email on the server and then downloading it off the server with another reliable email client.. NETSCAPE.. hehehe. When I downloaded this email using netscape all was well.

I will confess this about them, I wrote them and told them about this, and I got not only an autoresponse, but a real follow up response quicker than i have heard from FQ today!

anyways, I guess the bottom line to this, is this program obviously has its bugs, but they are very willing to accomdate their potential customers! http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Greetings everyone. My name is Tommy Evans and I'm one of the developers of Calypso E-mail. First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for this thread, and for taking a look at our e-mail program. I noticed a few issues and thout that I'd address them.

1). There was a bug in Calypso v3.00.09 that left a bare LF in the MIME header of an HTML message. This was fixed in v3.00.10 (not released), and will be available in 3.00.11 when posted on our website. We apologize for this. Unfortunately, none of our mail servers, or those of our beta force caught this.

2). Justin said he had a problem configuring Calypso, causing it to crash. There was a fix put in for some unexpected font information being returned that did cause a crash in certain circumstances. I would suggest that he download 3.00.11 and give it a try. If he has any problems, send me the info and any data (drWatson logs, stack traces, EIP addresses, etc) and I will personally see that it gets fixed. True, we could add extra code to catch exceptions everywhere, but we prefer to (try to) write code that doesn't cause them in the first place.

3) There are basically two main places for configuration within the program. One is for settings for the entire mailbox (e.g. Address Book, Message separators, spell checking, etc). The other is individual account settings. These are configured from the mailbox menu, and by right-clicking on an individual account in the account list, respectively. If you have a question about where to find something, please check our online Help. It is very comprehensive.

Calypso was written first and formemost as an e-mail program. 95%+ of the features found in Calypso were submitted by Netizens such as yourself. We are very proud of our product and the support we offer. I know that we take better care of our customers than does Eudora and Microsoft (ever called MS support? HA!) on support issues. (How many developers actually visit threads such as this?) This is our company policy here at MCS.

Anyway. Thank you for your time and consideration of Calypso. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know.

Calypso v3.00.11 will be available from our website for download in the next day or two. I'll let you know when it is up there.

Thanks for your reply. Calypso 3.00.11 is now available on our web site www.mcsdallas.com (http://www.mcsdallas.com) . This has the fixed DLL's that Kevin sent to you, plus a few other fixes.

The one downside of e-mail is that the specs (like the Bible), are open to some level of interpretation. So, when we make a release, there is often a short period of "tweaking" that must be done to ensure that the product works with all the different mail servers (and their interpretation of the secification) that are out there

Thank you again for using Calypso. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you

Thanks for visiting the forum! I guess you can blame me since I started the thread. http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

At any rate, I'll take Calypso, bugs and all, over Eudora Pro and MS Outlook. I don't like Outlook 98 because of the resources it uses, plus it's just too cumbersome for my tastes. Eudora is also a resource hog and gets buggier with every release. I've written Eudora tech support FIVE TIMES and have never received the courtesy of a response.

A company's customer support speaks worlds about their overall business philosophy. MCS has a great email client and from what I've seen, great support as well. Well worth a paltry $24.95...

Actually, they showed up, cuz I was having probs with the program, and told them to come visit here to see what was being said, since I was being so upfront about this whole dilema.

I have to say this about them. They are awesome! Totally 100% awesome!

It may have taken them 6 days to get back in touch with me, but today, they have been on top of every single email. They took less than one hour getting in touch with me.

I had a tech and their programmer in touch with me off and on all day! I think they are totally outstanding for making an appearance here to clear up any kind of confusion and give us a better insight.

Andrew and Deb, they didn't break the mold when they made ya's! http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif They proved to me today, that there are more people out there that really truly do care about their customers.

I will be promoting their product from my site. All because, of their outstanding tech support, personal attention, and bending over backwards to please a "potential" customer.... which says a whole lot.

Don, they are more than worth the $24.95. I don't think I would use another email client if they offered it to me for free. After today, I would be more than happy to pay double this!

Tommy, and Kevin.... thanks for everything. You guys are the best!

Calypso is nice! I much prefer the interface to Eudora, it's faster, has PGP functionality built-in, and multi-user security- goodbye Qualcomm!

Heh heh... I'm gonna ask MCS for a percentage of the sales they're getting through this forum, since I started the thread. http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

On a serious note, it takes a pretty good program to REALLY impress me. Calypso really impressed me!
