which mail program?
 

I am looking to use an email program to send and receive emails. The email it is in the form [email protected]. I am wondering, if I don't want to use Outlook express or outlook which one to use? I currently use the firefox and I would likenot to use a Microsof program. Any ideas please?

Many thanks in advance.

Thunderbird is well regarded - and as you use FF...

I know several people who like Pegasus.

Thunderbird.....If you use FF then it will just feel natural to you.

Agreed. Thunderbird is the best I have found among several.

Agree with Thunderbird.
Started using it not long after losing most of my correspondence from OE.
And as a result of that tasty little experience, also started using MozBackup, setting the backup files to a different partition. Works a treat.

Agree all that. Thunderbird is excellent. It has the great advantage that you can find your mail folders (it hides them, but it's easy to look up where). I never did get the hang of doing that with Outlook or OE.

You can use Mozbackup, or (as I do) a regular batch job to copy them to another hard drive.

I've also started using Thunderbird and with the webmail extension, it can be used for hotmail, yahoo, gmail,.......

Any takers for googlemail?

Had gmail for some time, serves its purpose but it annoys in one small way - if I were to open it now in another tab but remain here, it switches me to the gmail tab as soon as it opens so I could be halfway through typing here and discover I'm not, if you see what I mean.

Although your against a microsoft program,
I highly recomend Windows Live Mail its a great program, much better than Outlook Express, we use it at work and home

googlemail is not what he was after, he needed a mail client to pick his mail up.

I pick up gmail with Thunderbird without any extension needed. Plus all my other email providers..

Opera's email program is excellent and, unlike Thunderbird (which is woefully underdeveloped compared to Firefox) is completely integrated into the browser.

I'm in the process of standardising applications at the practice and I've settled on Opera for email/browser for a lot of reasons, one of which is that it is the best crossplatform (Windows/Mac/Linux) application for our heterogeneous setup

:ok:

Nice....:ok:
