TransSoft Mail Control Designed with the Novice User in Mind Forrest Stroud
Designed with the Novice User in Mind
TMC Pro offers a short and simple series of introductory screens that will get new users up and running quickly. At this point, the novice e-mail user can begin sending and receiving messages on the 'net. This keeps the more advanced and often complicated features hidden from beginning users but just one short menu click away for power users.
Novices will also love TransSoft Mail's custom help feature, which brings up a help bubble of text for all the icons and individual sections of the screen. Unfortunately, the custom help option is turned off by default, and because the toggle switch for turning the feature on is buried in the settings menu, many beginners will likely miss out on this extremely helpful feature.
Another design flaw likely to bother both new and experienced users alike is the inability to create messages using the opening interface -- in order to draft a new message, you have to first click on the appropriate icon in order to begin up a specialized message composition screen.
Normally this wouldn't be so annoying, but TMC Pro's opening screen presents a perfect interface for creating quick, short messages that lack the need for the extra space and advanced options made available in the message composition screen. Aside from these and a few other minor miscues, there's not a whole lot left to be desired in TransSoft Mail, especially when you consider its abundant set of features.
