razz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I do not like Outlook Express so I currently use Thunderbird, but am snooping around for possibly a better email client. Anyone have suggestions? Do you know anything about Foxmail? A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on MajorGeeks A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on Softpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantomizer Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thunderbird - it consumes less memory and processor cycles. Plus I use some add ons, suits me best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoffeep Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I've been using Thunderbird since the first time I compiled it in Gentoo. it was worth it Fantasy is the celebration of what we no longer are: individuals certain of our meaningfulness in a meaningful world. The wish-fulfillment that distinguishes fantasy from other genres is not to be the all-conquering hero, but to live in a meaningful world. The fact that such worlds are enchanted worlds, worlds steeped in magic, simply demonstrates the severity of our contemporary crisis.Scott R. Bakker, Why Fantasy and Why Now?

fireryone Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 As another option you could swap to live mail. fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 No one has mentioned Opera Mail; that's certainly worth looking at. Personally, I use the Gmail web interface and the Gmail Mobile app on my phone. Dell Latitude D600 Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I use Gmail web interface like TeeJay. I like how much you can customize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mps69_1999 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Started with Thunderbird, but abandoned it after I got Gmail up and running, it's all web based now. My browser is open most of the time, I didn't see the point of having two application running when one is enough. I think Thunderbird, Outlook etc are great if you have a poor or slow internet connection, download your email take your time to read and reply, but with the constantly connected high speed broadband, I personally don't see the point any more.

razz Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 The problem that my wife is having with Thunderbird is she frequently needs to forward certain emails. With Thunderbird, when you forward an email it shows up as an attachment. This means that she is unable to clean-up the email before sending (which is sometimes desired), also, some people don't like opening attachments. We realize that she could copy and paste into a new email, but it would be nice to have the ability to simply hit forward, clean-up something if desired and then hit send. EDIT: Given it further thought, I discovered that you can overcome the problem I mentioned by using the "Reply" function, instead of "Forward". This seems to work in our case.

Corona Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I used Thunderbird for years. It's a great program. But for my needs I don't need a full app for email. My Yahoo and Gmail accounts work fine enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted July 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2009 I use windows live mail. http://download.live.com/wlmail I use it with live mail(former hotmail) because it can do free pop3 checking. It syncs really well where if I'm at home I can use my client if I'm on another computer I can log in on the web and it would be the same. Really nice.
