Mail Programme

Hello Everyone

I am currently using Windows Live Mail, which is starting to give me problems. I gather that MS will not update this prorgamme and have switched over to Outlook. Could you suggest a good alternative, or comment on Outlook please.

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Have a look at BlueMail, now has a PC version. Been using it on my phone for years now and it's excellent. Even my elderly parents can use it!

Used to use Outlook Express until Micros**t canned it, went to Thunderbird but then back to Outlook, nothing wrong with Thunderbird but Outlook seemed more like I was used to but still preferred what was Outlook Express, can't be specific now, too long ago, but it wasn't broke so why did they fix it ? The Outlook Spam filter seems OK, and you can arrange "folders" to try to organise e-mails that you want to categorise.

I use Thunderbird for my business emails, my first email client all those years ago was Outlook Express but I'm against paying for a client when a pretty good alternative in Thunderbird is available for free

I`ve been using GMX.COM for the last three years, excellent it is. Requires you to log out after each session.

I still get my Outlook free, but then I'm still using an old version of Office, not going to pay for Office 365 or whatever "they" call it.
