E-mail filtering software Cloudmark Desktop becomes DesktopOne

Cloudmark today announced an update to its e-mail filtering software for Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird 3, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail. The software, formerly known as Cloudmark Desktop, is now called Cloudmark DesktopOne, and unlike previous versions, the shareware version can now be used in Basic mode for an unlimited length of time.

Cloudmark Desktop was formerly available as a fully-featured 15 day trial, but now, DesktopOne limits the number of inboxes monitored to just one IMAP, POP, or webmail account at a time, and gives users just one Spam folder, but does so with no time limit. The inbox being protected by the software can be changed at any time as well.

To open monitoring to an unlimited number of inboxes, and add premium features, Cloudmark has a Pro subscription tier for $19.95 per year.

The software still works on its "Fingerprint" system, which is essentially a database of untrustworthy senders, updated every time a user marks an e-mail message as spam or phishing.

Cloudmark DesktopOne supports both 32-and 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7, as well as Windows XP and 2000. Supported e-mail clients include Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and Windows Mail.

The free version of DesktopOne can be downloaded from Cloudmark's site today.
