Download PocoMail 4.5 build 3900

The email client PocoMail has been updated by Poco Systems to version 4.5 build 3900. PocoMail emphasizes security. For example, it has its own HTML viewer and does not use Internet Explorer components. In addition, VBScript or JavaScript cannot be executed and there is an extensive junk and spam filter. Hardly any functionality has been added to the program in this release. This time the emphasis has mainly been on improving performance and functionality. In addition, the necessary bug fixes have been made. The changelog has the following to say about it:
