Courier is an e-mail client used on Microsoft Windows. The software was originally developed as Calypso and was renamed after transition to RoseCitySoftware.
History
With the release of version 3.5, Courier became freeware, but the apparent intent is to revert to a fee-based client after the software is upgraded to version 4.0. Courier 3.5 is not compliant with Vista and does not support SSL, both of which seem to be goals of version 4.0.[citation needed]
Courier provides encryption in the inbox and retains addresses and mail and attachments together.
Courier supports the POP3, IMAP and SMTP protocols and provides several features for HTML security.
The beta test phase for version 3.6 was shut down in February, 2008, due to delays in achieving defined milestones. An upgrade path was negotiated with PocoSystems to add Courier-type features to Pocomail and direct Courier users to migrate to PocoMail 4.8 as a replacement for Courier 3.5. No further development under the Courier name is planned. Pocomail 4.8 was released in April, 2009.
