!!!UPDATE: We are no longer supporting iScribe for Robotz.com members.
iScribe has not lived up
to the expectation preceived by the vendors description. It is a problematic replacement for Outlook, although we are unsatisfied with it
we still recommend using it over Microsoft email products including Outlook and Outlook Express. Our quest for a good email application for Microsoft Windows will now continue.
iScribe is so small and compact (no registry entries) you can run it from a floppy so you can take it with you wherever you go. It is more secure than Outlook, and officially supported by Robotz.com. We highly recommend this email software and give it 5 Stars!
Small
Scribe is quite small, 516 400K to download. And even when downloaded takes up very little of your hard disk or memory while running. You can easily use Scribe from a floppy disk. The usually memory footprint is about 3-4 MB with a reasonable sized mail folder loaded. Great for those older machines that don't have gobs of RAM and HD.
Fast
Startup and shutdown are very quick. Typically taking only a second or two. Mail sends and receives go as fast as your net connection allows. No needless waiting around for things to happen (like Outlook). Because Scribe uses a flexible flat file format for mail storage you can move email with huge attachments around with no effort at all, unlike some email clients that have to copy the entire email, including attachment to another file on disk causing unnecessary waiting for the user.
Easy
Scribe comes totally self contained. Once you unzip the distribution file scribe is installed. There's no dll's left lying around or registry settings to worry about. All the data and settings for scribe are stored in it's directory. And when you delete that directory you don't have to worry about cleaning up after Scribe.
Cross-platform
Scribe runs in Windows, BeOS, and Linux. Allowing users to maintain all their email and contacts in one place. Run the version of scribe for the OS your running and access the email received in another OS.

Free
iScribe is free for everyone to use. No time limits, no nagging shareware banners or number of trials. Use it to your hearts content. But for those who want more features and would like to support me in producing this software there is a commercial version (with extra features) called InScribe.
