CE Software to Ship QuickMessenger 2.0 and QuickMailBar
CE Announces Support for CMC API

West Des Moines, IA, June 15, 1993 - CE SOFTWARE HOLDINGS, INC. (NASDAQ/NMS
Symbol:CESH) today announced QuickMessenger 2.0, to ship in July, 1993.
QuickMessenger 2.0 is a send-and-receive version of the client-level API
CE Software released last year. A beta version of the product was seeded
to developers last week. CE also showed a developer version of
QuickMailBar, a new API to ship later this year. In a related
announcement, CE pledged support for XAPIA's Common Messaging Call API
(CMC).

With an installed base of almost one million users, QuickMail is the
leading Macintosh E-mail application. QuickMessenger 2.0 provides
developers the ability to write specialized message-handling programs that
leverage the QuickMail messaging transport. Developers may program from C,
C++, Pascal or assembler or with XCMDs for HyperCard and 4th Dimension.

QuickMessenger programmers have full access to the data resources of
QuickMail. Lists of zones, MailCenters and NameServers help in addressing
users who are spread over different segments of a large network. The
application can also get addressees from MailCenters and NameServers as
well as from the user's personal address books and groups. Access to the
NameServer for addresses verification or to find recipients is also
available from the application.

"QuickMessenger 2.0 completes the process of opening up the QuickMail
system," said Ned Horvath, director of CE Software's messaging team. "For
years, we've been very successful at encouraging the industry to extend
QuickMail's connectivity through our gateway API. In March, when we
shipped QuickMail 2.6, we opened up our Directory Services interfaces.
Now, with QuickMessenger, third parties can provide new user interfaces,
or write intelligent agents to create and handle messages."

CE also demonstrated QuickMailBar, a more specialized interface designed to
easily message-enable mainstream applications like word processors or
spreadsheets. Application developers can use QuickMailBar to add the
familiar QuickMail addressing and action buttons to any document. The
result is the end user can send and receive mail without ever leaving the
application. QuickMailBar ship dates will be announced later.

The Common Messaging Call API (CMC) is a new, industry-standard messaging
API introduced by XAPIA at the Electronic Messaging Association meeting at
Atlanta today. CMC is intended to normalize transport-specific messaging
APIs like CE's QuickMessenger. "CE will be able to rapidly implement CMC
compliance using QuickMessenger 2.0," said Horvath at the XAPIA rollout in
Atlanta. "As an application developer and long-time supporter of open
standards, we are very excited by the flexibility and simplicity CMC
represents for customers and application developers."

CE Software is the world's largest Macintosh E-mail provider. With almost
one million QuickMail users worldwide, CE is a rapidly expanding developer
of system-enhancing software and network productivity tools for the
Macintosh and Windows/DOS markets. CE is leveraging leadership positions
to develop next generation messaging and personal agent software.
