Courier – an email client for Microsoft Windows, originally released in 1996 as Calypso by Micro Computer Systems (MCS).
Courier supported the POP3, IMAP and SMTP protocols, provided several features for HTML security and allowed to use multiple e-mail accounts from one mailbox. Version 3.0 introduced html support and improved message security in comparison to version 2.0, however some features were not yet supported for html messages.
In 1998 the MCS introduced another Calypso branded product, Calypso Message Center, intended for tracking and distributing messages for corporate customers.
The company abandoned further development of Calypso, which was acquired in 2003 by RoseCitySoftware. This led to freeware release of version 3.3 and name change of the next shareware version 3.5 to Courier.
