CE Software Announces QuickMail Pro; Company Unveils New POP E-mail Client Software.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1996--CE Software today announced QuickMail Pro -- a new Internet E-mail client software offering for Macintosh and Windows operating systems supporting the Internet Post Office Protocol, version 3 (POP3).

QuickMail Pro is the first in a series of Internet products the company will add to its product family over the next six months. CE Software anticipates a fall ship date for QuickMail Pro.

Connectivity from the Office, Road or Home

The QuickMail Pro client will fit any situation. Whether users are in the office, on the road, or at home they will be able to send and receive messages from QuickMail Pro. The QuickMail Pro client will leverage the standard TCP/IP networking protocol enabling users to send and receive messages over the most widely used Internet protocol.

For increased cost savings, users will even be able to send and receive messages by dialing-up via Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Interface Protocol (S/LIP). QuickMail Pro will include the key features currently available in CE Software's QuickMail 3.6 offering.

QuickMail LAN

CE Software's traditional QuickMail product line will continue to provide E-mail users the highest level of functionality available in LAN-based, MacOS messaging. The only difference will be that the application will now be known as QuickMail LAN. Integration with, and migration to, QuickMail Pro from QuickMail LAN will be seamless.

CE Software will ship QuickMail Pro for Windows and MacOS users this fall. QuickMail Pro server announcements will be made within the coming months. QuickMail Pro will have a suggested retail price of $69.95 for 1 a user pak, $279.95 for 5 a user pak, $499.95 for a 10 user pak, $949.95 for a 25 user pak, $1,849.95 for a 50 user pak and $3,449.95 for a 100 user pak.
