e-mail Clients
Now that the OS/2 Internet e-mail client market has matured there are many alternatives to IBM's Ultimail Lite. We take a look at Knightware's MR/2 ICE v0.99u2, SouthSide Software's PMMail v1.5 and InnoVal Systems Solutions' Post Road Mailer v1.03a and let you know how they compare. We've also included a handy comparison table so you can quickly check the features of the various mailers against each other!

Our hodge-podge of reviews this month includes a replacement dialer, a home finance package, a communications application, a scientific calculator, a Windows 3.1 enhancer and OS/2 Essentials.
