Barca 2
« on: November 21, 2005, 01:47 PM »
In the last few weeks, PocoSystems have greatly improved their email clients (Poco and Barca).

Barca 2 does not appear in the REVIEW section here and do believe it deserves a first look.
It has many features like Calendar, Tasks, Planner etc.
Search feature has been the major update and it performs incredibly well!
The back-up/restore feature is another handy asset that works just fine.

The price tag for a newcomer might be a bit too spicy, but i do prefer it to Outlook (not just for the price tag).

So much for my 2cents worth.

Most of the programs are going to have new version released over time, so I guess the question is if mouser wants to keep the reviews up to date all the time, or if he prefers to make a new major review say a year after the first, where he takes a look at all the new versions.

I get your point Jibz, but Barca was never listed in the first place.

Oh ok .. I am sorry I didn't check :-[.

It looks a bit like it's the exact same e-mail client, but with some nice add-ons (calendar and planner). Is that correct?

Exactly! 

But Barca (or Poco) haven't had an significant upgrade for about 2 years now.
Although the review hits it pretty well head on, the recent improvements may be worth the re-visit.
