What is your favorite eMail client?

BT17R · 10-21-2006, 10:07 PM

After years of reliable freeware Pegasus, I switched to freeware Thunderbird and never looked back. I use Gmail for the heavy volume like eZines and whatnot, but for security use Thunderbird. What's your fav?

-- Outlook or Outlook Express

-- Thunderbird

-- Gmail or Yahoo!

-- Eudora

-- Other, what?

Multiple choices are OK.

i use outlook at work and hotmail at home

***Corey*** · 10-22-2006, 04:03 AM

I use both Outlook 2003 at work and at home.
The new Office 2003 is a pretty good all around app suite.

And while I am at work if I want to access my Comcast account, I log into Comcasts email page through any browser.

I dont like how you have outlook and outlook express in the same option. I like outlook express, and HATE outlook

gapguy · 10-22-2006, 07:08 AM

Apple Mail! Though, I'm jealous and really wish Outlook 2k3 would port to the Mac.

arjan · 10-22-2006, 07:25 PM

I've switched to Thunderbird a year or so back. I used to use Eudora, but Thunderbird is free and works very well.
I also like the extensions which can be added.

drguitarum2005 · 10-22-2006, 07:27 PM

thunderbird is just straight up better and has nice junk mail controls. and if youre saying "clients", gmail/yahoo arent really client persay, theyre just webmail so i dunno. i'd say that should be a diff category. oh and i use thunderbird for gmail so i have 3 accounts in my thunderbird

mastacox · 03-06-2007, 09:08 AM

The poll isn't particularly useful in that it's comparing different things: e-mail clients and email providers.

I use Outlook Express with Gmail, so you see the contradiction... That said I do like Gmail's web interface. I really only us Outlook so that I have copies of the emails on my computer too.

hillbilly · 03-06-2007, 09:43 AM

As drguitarum2005 said, Thunderbird beats them all. I've been running the T-bird for a couple years now and installed 2.0 Beta 2 a couple weeks ago without issue. Add the Lightning calendar Extension to that and it can't be beat.

BT17R · 03-06-2007, 11:12 AM

Yeah, sorry about the client/provider confusion.

Scott, good to hear about T-bird Beta. I avoid Betas, but will at least take a look. Lightning is a great little calendar.

hillbilly · 03-06-2007, 01:23 PM

I migrated from Outlook to Tbird a couple years ago and haven't looked back since. I started with Tbird somewhere around v0.9 and have never experienced any troubles. The Lightning extension integrates right into Tbird, so the calendar function is nearly identical to Outlook. Since it integrates, there's no need to run a second app just for a calendar.

**rocket** · 03-06-2007, 01:32 PM

Why is Gmail and Yahoo grouped as one?? There completely different from eachother. I use both so thats what i voted but Gmail would be my first choice.

Paul H. · 03-06-2007, 05:56 PM

I use Outlook express for family and important stuff. Yahoo and hotmail for everything else.

JamesD · 03-06-2007, 07:25 PM

I use Pegasus. The best I think. I also have Gmail as well.

I use Outlook at work and g-mail at home. Might have to check out T-bird.

myway mail. I'm happy with it

RadRacer'86 · 03-06-2007, 08:40 PM

I use yahoo for work but T-shirt hell's e-mail hell for everyting else. It's free like most, but you get to choose your own .com from a list. A few examples are:

true.

outlook express is email only. outlook is email, calendaring, tasks, etc...

and with outlook 2007, it now even hooks into sharepoint.

paxil4x4 · 03-08-2007, 07:13 PM

I will never use yahoo ever again, they closed two of my email accounts for no reason what so ever out of the blue (And no I was not spamming people or anything) . Now I use gmail

bigredj87 · 03-08-2007, 08:03 PM

I swear to Gmail. I just like the way all of Google's programs mesh together for a nice convenient experience. And the best part....its freaking free.
