Multi-threading Capabilities and Calypso Lite
Calypso users will enjoy its multi-threading capabilities, a feature that gives the client an advantage over apps like older releases of Eudora Pro, which tend to be slower as a result of their less advanced designs. At just under $50, Calypso competes fairly well with the commercial clients in its category (Eudora Pro, Transoft Mail Control, and Pronto), but it doesn't fare as well against less expensive clients like Pegasus Mail, Netscape Messenger, and Outlook Express.
Calypso does offer a lite version which kicks in after the thirty day evaluation has expired, but compared to the standard release this version is a severely crippled client. Calypso Lite restricts you to one mail box, one e-mail account, one signature, no IMAP4 support, no mail filters, no address templates, no Bulk Mail, no spell check, and no auto-response capabilities. The thought of using Calypso Lite on a regular basis should be enough of an incentive to fork over that registration fee well before the expiration date arrives.
