There are many threads for favourite email in this forum. So I don't want to start one more. I am talking about Email Clients for accessing our Email. My favourite is Incredimail which is free to use. Outlook Express is also good.
I want to know which one is liked by others???

[Florisjuh]

I used to work with Outlouk Express, but now I use Mozilla Thunderbird, its a lot faster and I find it easier to use and more to my taste.

[jamesdm]

I like the Mozilla Thunderbird have it all and it's free and secure.

[s2city]

I use Outlook Express, I love it. It's the best in my opinion, Microsoft Outlook is okay, but it's got so much stuff on it that I don't need. I just want to check my mail lol, I don't want to schedule appointments and track expenses....

i'm using outlook, but i'm not realy glad with it. just makes troubles with few connections. u'll have to wait 4 a newsgroub (like the alt.1600.*******) about 3 minutes but it its secure

[popac]

I use opera becouse it is most easy to use when you alredy use opera for browsing, but i like Thunderbird and evolution

[ashiezai]

i use outlook express .. but i seldom use it
just checking "manually"

[DMA]

i use thunderbird, becuase i support open source software and just about anything the good people from mozilla make. its supposed to be more secure than outlook, but i really dont care about that. it just has a lot more features than outlook express and is easier to use.

[2091]

i must try the firebird

[medusa]

Well, I am used to Outlook 2003. It is very stabel and secure. Does not open all the attachments unlike some previous versions.

Many add ons are available, but not all are yet compat with 2003!
Hope soon they will be!

Thunderbird

Opera's M2 is also great, used that for the longest time. Actually the two are very similar, just like the browser sounterparts.

One reason I switched to thunderbird was that I could call it up from mail checking programs like Miranda, or MSN Messenger Plus.

I am use several mail clients.

Yahoo , Gmail , scgies (3GB, WOW)...

These are not email clients. These are just email services provided by different companies. This thread is for clients like outlook, thunderbird, M2 etc.

[pweb]

[solankyno1]

Most of the people are recommending Thunderbird here. So I have downloaded it. But I have not found any features for Multiple Identities like Incredimail and Outlook Express so that I and My brother can keep our mails private to each other.
Any one know about this feature in thunderbird????

[Dawid]

I just use webmail clients, rarely ever just on the same PC. Although a few years ago I used to use Outlook express, that was pretty cool. The webmail clients arn't bad though.

[Jeeves]

Yeah, I just use Yahoo! webmail. It works just as good as anything else in my opinion.

[sjc]

yeah thunderbird doesn't work like that solankyo.
at least i can't find it either

my wife and i use it separately, for different email accounts, but we use different Windows XP user accounts.

if you and your brother can set up separate windows accounts, you could use THunderbird.


personally, i use thunderbird, but only because i like the graphics better.

You are wright ,my bad.

Office's outlook is bad ( just my think ) , but outlook express , which comes with windows , is much better...

Thanks filipc for the information.
Now after your post I think it will be better for us to use incredimail because now they have also included junk filter in the new verison.

[spawn_syxx9]

I really haven't gotten a client simply because I don't really like accessing my email unless I am actually at the site. Too much hassle plus the risk of getting virus' and worm's.

[Trystim]

I wont touch outlook express there is always an exploit for virus's in it even after they come out with a patch for the old seems peeps find a new one in it to use. I usually just the webmail client that the email providers give you, with my trap17 i use the Horde client they have, just easier it seems to use the web client they offer you. Why hastle with other programs such as setting the pop 3 etc etc.

[solankyno1]

Many persons are giving preference to Webmail here. In my opinion webmail is good if your internet connection speed is very fast. But if you are on dial up than I think it is better to use email clients because attaching a file on webmail takes a lot of time.

[Taupe]

I use Mozilla mail at home, and Mozilla Thunderbird at work.
Those softwares are clearely the best mail clients : very secure, with lots of features, (and the best HTML render engine...)
