Peer2Mail is a file-transfer tool for web mails. Web mail providers usually put a limit on the size of files that you can send as attachments. They even regularly block certain file names or file extensions. Peer2Mail splits files in segments, compresses them into ZIP files and then adds an encryption layer so that web mail providers couldn't block them. So, you can use this tool to use your e-mail account as a type of mobile drive or to share certain files with other people.
Peer2Mail supports services like Gmail, Yahoo, Walla!, etc. They say any web mail account should work with the app. Peer2Mail has its own built-in SMTP server and you don't need to configure anything before you start sending files. In my case, this approach didn't work. You can optionally use your e-mail account's SMTP or MAPI login information to send the files.
There is no log window within the application and if you want to know why a certain segment failed to send, you have to check an XML file inside the application's folder. With this application, you can split the files into parts of 10KB to 10MB, and you can set a password encrypted using AES algorithms.
In short, if this was really a zero-configuration tool that I could just run and use, I would be thrilled. However, that approach didn't work for me (I tried Gmail and Yahoo). Still, kudos go out for the great idea.
