Poco Systems announces the release of Barca - a safe replacement for Outlook

Poco Systems Inc., makers of the renowned e-mail software PocoMail, is proud to announce the release of Barca, a new Windows based personal information management (PIM") and e-mail software for professional and business users.

Victoria, British Columbia (PRWEB) July 22, 2004 -- Poco Systems Inc., makers of the renowned e-mail software PocoMail, is proud to announce the release of Barca, a new Windows based personal information management (PIM") and e-mail software for professional and business users. Barca is a seamless integration of a Calendar (appointment and task scheduling) Planner, popup Notes, Diary, Tasks, Today screen, time-saving Shortcuts, and the email engine of PocoMail. Barca users can create appointments or tasks right from their email, invite others to meetings using group appointment, assign task to co-workers using group task, use the Planner to plan out an entire years schedule, write and save quick notes then send them to others, and much more - all this in a 4.1 Mb download! Barca provides a single interface to manage personal and business information, plan and schedule tasks and appointments, communicate with others, and collaborate on team projects.

Barcas major features can be grouped into two categories 1) PIM; and 2) e-mail management. Both categories are seamlessly integrated. The e-mail management piece leverages the technology of PocoMail, our award-winning e-mail software to create a safe, secure, powerful, easy to use, and feature-rich email client. In addition, it offers an integrated Bayesian intelligent spam filters that keeps spam out of your inbox. Once trained, the filter knows how to identify spam versus non-spam. In September 2003 Cnet, the leading online software site states "We think PocoMail is a fantastic little program. Well designed, thought out, and powerful, this email client packs a punch." In November 2003 .NET Magazine, the leading technology magazine in the UK, states With so many email viruses around its a relief to find an email that places emphasis on security." The personal information and work management piece of Barca is equally sophisticated and powerful.

Barca is special because it is the only application that matches the PIM and e-mail functionalities of Outlook, yet Barca is not susceptible to the virus and security vulnerabilities of Outlook. Users can now improve their productivity by managing their communication and work-related activities in a single, safe and secure location. Barca is compatible with both POP, IMAP, SMTP email protocols, and can be configured to work with Microsoft Exchange server. It is currently only available in English.
