Filemailer is a Mac utility designed to let you send files via email very fast and without impacting your hard drive. Version 2.0 of the software sports enhancements, improvements, and fixes for all known bugs, according to Altomac.

Among those enhancements, Filemailer now offers support for TLS authentication. Additionally, Altomac has included a new feature to organize contacts in groups to send to multiple recipients. Language support includes English, Italian, and French.

Unlike most email clients, Filemailer doesn't save a new copy of the same e-mail on your hard drive every time you send it. It also eliminates the need to enter any text manually, and it sends files without archiving sent items. Using the program is as easy as dragging a file over the name of the person who should receive it.

Filemailer does compression as well, so, after it deals with that, it enters the name of the compressed file in the subject, inserts text information in the body of the message, and delivers the package. In short, all you have to do is hit the Send button. The recipient isn't required to use Filemailer to receive files – they can do so using their preferred e-mail client.

For a personal use of the application, one account to send files is enough in most of the cases. Filemailer Pro can offer this feature, but it costs to use. Filemailer is useful to all those who use the email to send files, particularly to those who do so for work. The software comes in most handy where heavy file-sharing occurs between colleagues. Also, Filemailer is particularly recommended to those who need to send files to someone but do not have time to entertain a circumstance conversation via email.

Minimum requirements call for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later (Leopard Compatible), 12.1 MB Hard Drive space, an e-mail account (of course), and an Internet connection. Filemailer is a Universal Binary compatible with PowerPC and Intel processors.

Filemailer Pro offers additional features, and can be purchased from Altomac's store for $14.95 (USD). The free (stripped down) version of Filemailer 2.0 can be downloaded using the link below.
