ZeRAT is a tiny (E)SMTP/POP3/NNTP console e-mail and news client, free from unwanted and useless bloatware features.

With this program you will be able to send the mail through (E)SMTP and receive the mail through POP3 protocols from any number of accounts. It is possible to send the messages in the plain text or HTML, attach files to messages. Basic NNTP (Network News protocol) commands are also supported.

For your anonymity, ZeRAT can operate through proxy server (supports SOCKS v5 protocol).

ZeRAT can send e-mails directly to recipients, bypassing your ISP's mail server and has other unique features.

ZeRAT can work in the interactive mode which is ideal for cleaning up POP accounts, removing spam and large messages without downloading it to a local mailbox (supports national charsets and makes interactive POP session readable in most cases).

ZeRAT fits easily on a floppy, making it easy to carry around. It requires no installation and no data is saved in the registry.

If you prefer GUI instead of command line then try GUIz.

It supports sending/receiveing/reading mail and news, delivering e-mails directly to recipients, working with socks proxy and more. GUIz has a multilingual interface. Skins (color schemes) are supported. The program package also contains console ZeRAT itself.
