Forté Agent is an email and Usenet news client used on the Windows operating system. Agent was conceived, designed and developed by Mark Sidell and the team at Forté Internet Software in 1994 to address the need for an online/offline newsreader which capitalized on the emerging Windows GUI framework. By 1995 Agent had expanded to become a full-featured email client and remains a widely-used application for integrating news and email communication on Windows.
Agent's Usenet features include access to multiple news servers, import/export of NZB files, threaded discussions and a highly configurable user interface.
Agent email introduced the concept of route by identity, a simple drag-and-drop way to train Agent to route incoming email. Together with built-in Bayesian junk detection, route by identity provides nearly 100% accurate spam filtering.
Route by identity
Route by identity is a technique for routing inbound email devised introduced with Forté Agent 4.0. Combined with integrated Bayesian junk detection route by identity provides nearly 100% accurate spam filtering. To use route by identity drag the first message from a contact to the desired folder. From then on Agent will know how to route messages from this sender. If you already have messages in folders use them to train Agent to the way you organize your email. Dragging messages to the Junk folder trains Agent to recognize spam. You can also train Agent when you send messages.
