Privacy Mantra 2.06

http://www.codeode.com/privacymantra/index.html

Privacy is an important watchword when dealing with computers, and Privacy Mantra is a nice way to get a bit of piece of mind in this thorny area. This application will wipe away websurfing traces from Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it can also remove usage history from the Microsoft Office suite. The application also works to free disk space by deleting annoying junk files. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 2000 and newer. [KMG]



Postbox 1.0b10

http://www.postbox-inc.com/

Postbox goes above and beyond in terms of helping users catalog their email. After setting up the application, users can click on the "Images" tab to see a thumbnail gallery of every picture contained within their various messages. The "Compose" sidebar is another fine feature, and it gives users the availability to find attachments, images, and links directly within a new message window. This version of Postbox is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.4 and newer. [KMG]
