What email client do you use? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Grondar · 09-21-2003, 01:14 PM

What email client do you use for POP mail?

I generally use what is packaged with a browser, but I am thinking it might be better to find a standalone application that may be better suited for email use.

What email program(s) do you use, and what do you like/dislike about them?

Also, are there any programs you highly recommend?

Thanks.

outlook express... it gets the job done

Outlook, very nice

aol, sucks

jfranco13 · 09-21-2003, 01:29 PM

I use Mulberry which is made by Cyrusoft... then again my employer has a site license for it so it's free... but it's very powerful for managing accounts, if you're comfortable with a very powerful tool. Otherwise I would probably just stick with OE since it works very well.

I'm using Outlook 2003

but if you don't want to shell out the big bucks for Office 2k3,
i recommend 'TheBat!'. http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/

Outlook here. Works nicely, have no problems with it.

The_Dude · 09-21-2003, 02:16 PM

outlook express.

gets the job done real well.

ratbastid · 09-21-2003, 02:30 PM

Evolution 1.4.4.

I pass mail through bogofilter for spam-trapping purposes, incidentally.

darkure · 09-21-2003, 04:21 PM

I am a big fan of Eudora. It is very good at getting the job done and free from the LookOut (Express) faults/gaping holes.

SecretMethod70 · 09-21-2003, 04:26 PM

I use Outlook primarily......

hahahaha

had you going there!

Nah, I prefer to stay virus/exploit free on my comp

So, I use Mozilla Mail in Windows (soon to be Thunderbird as it matures) and I use KMail in Linux.

djtestudo · 09-21-2003, 05:45 PM

On my one computer I used Outlook until I moved and no longer have internet to it. Now on my family's computer I just bring it all into Yahoo Mail.

Latch · 09-21-2003, 05:54 PM

Evolution!

bobw · 09-21-2003, 05:55 PM

Outlook at work. Yahoo at home

Jolt · 09-21-2003, 06:26 PM

As far as I'm concerned, all GUI based mail clients suck raw ass.

I prefer to use elm...will use pine but only if forced.

juanvaldes · 09-21-2003, 07:37 PM

Usually mail.app

but lately just mail.

sailor · 09-21-2003, 08:48 PM

I used to use Mulberry, but didnt really like it. It is powerful, but I found its useability lacking, and since I didnt really need some of the features it had, I switched. I am now running Mozilla Thunderbird (their standalone client), and although it is a beta, I am very happy with it.

Speed_Gibson · 09-21-2003, 09:52 PM

Kmail and Pegasus/Pocomail on the win systems. Have only been using Kmail on the Knoppix box lately due to certain "issues" requiring a long-overdue reinstall on the primary windows box.

Johnny Rotten · 09-21-2003, 11:17 PM

Outlook at work, with Mailwasher helping me to filter everything.

At home: Trying to migrate to Thunderbird, but I hate how I can't check all accounts with one click (or I haven't figured that out yet). I have about a half dozen addresses I use on a daily basis and have weaned myself from the Hotmail spam factory.

TwoToTango · 09-22-2003, 07:53 AM

I'm a little surprised at all the people who
mentioned Outlook. I guess I sort of knew
that it could also handle e-mail, but its
main function is the propagation of viruses.
Especially the ones that like to send copies
of themselves to all your [former] friends
and business associates.

I use Pegasus Mail. No cost, no problems.

Am I the only one who still uses pine?
