Other email programs other than Outlook Express?

I've been trying to setup the filter system on outlook express but instead finding it a frustrating bullshit experience.

I've been getting a ton of emails with no message, subject or "to" line. Just blank. There's no way of setting up outlook to delete these, in fact the rules system seems to be a huge pain in the ass.

Is there another program that has more options for setting up rules and not just a few garbage settings like outlook?

thanks!

The full Office version of Outlook is much better for rules. But there's tons of other options, including various anti-spam programs. I use Mailwasher as anti-spam tool myself, on top of a dedicated linux mailserver with spamassassin. I used to get some 30 to 40 spams a day, but now get up to 5 (all detected by mailwasher), and that's only because I have set up spamassassin to be very lenient.

You might want to check out a product called Thunderbird. It's from the makers of Firefox, the greatest webbrowser available .

I use Outlook 2003. I've tried and tried to use Eudora, Thunderbird, etc. - but with upwards of 4GB of saved e-mails (all text), most programs just crash. I'd love to use something else, but unfortunately I don't have much of a choice at this point.

What I am working on is setting up a server to parse out spam better - I'm getting sick of it.

I used Eudora for years (I think the first version I had was for Windows 3.1). Just recently I switched over to Thunderbird. Both are great apps, although I think the filtering in Thunderbird is a little more robust.

Another Thunderbird user here. It's very easy to customize and has the best junk filters out there in my opinion.

Add in another vote for Thunderbird. If you use Firefox, you'll love Thunderbird, and if not, you still will The spam filtering system is excellent

Aside for the page debianuser linked, you may want to also check out: http://texturizer.net/thunderbird/faq.html

If you're looking for an overlooked jewel, look at PocoMail. www.pocomail.com. I use it and enjoy it quite a bit.

I just switched from outlook express to Thunderbird on my PC, and it works very well. I think its the best free email client out there. Its easy to use, automatically transfers all of your settings from Outlook, a snap to customize, the junk filter is great, and it integrates very well with Firefox.
