The Bottom Line

XFMail is a solid and secure email client that likely won't disappoint you. But not only its interface, also the feature set are a bit out of date compared to the fresher competition.

Guide Review - XFMail 1.5.4 - Free Email Program

XFMail is a solid email client through and through. It comes with thick buttons that don't look like they'll ever be unresponsive due to a crash, and XFMail's feature set is equally solid.

XFMail supports multiple POP, IMAP and local accounts, offers flexible filters and search, supports MIME (though it can't handle HTML inline) and international languages.

It's great to see XFMail integrates with GnuPG for secure messaging, too.

Unfortunately, XFMail does not support OpenPGP messages, though, and XFMail feels a bit out of date in other areas, too. The message editor is not particularly comfortable, the address book is very simple (XFMail offers LDAP support, though), and the interface is a tad complicated and looks outdated.
