Best Email Progams

Wendy225 · #1 Jan 10, 2006, 09:23 PM

What is everyone's opinion on a good solid email program, I'm talking a power user, or big business, just a normal home PC user.

I prefer Pocomail 4 as it has what I consider the best Spam filter and customizable interface and speed.

If you want a lot of smileys, backgrounds to use and well just fix up your emails, then Incredimail is good with a nice clean interface, but it's a huge program and power hog.

Thunderbird I think is a nice small simple one if your needs are simple.

What does anyone else think

Yahoo! Mail

http://mail.yahoo.com

I have NEVER received spam with Yahoo!

I have tried Yahoo,

But in my case, I like just a little more in my email than what it offers, Yahoo is only slightly more than my own internet Providers online web based email.

If that's all you need, is just something simple to recieve and send email, Yahoo is fine, but I like a little more, not a lot, but more, than web based mail, like Yahoo, and Gmail and others similar to them can offer.

I guess it all depends on your needs, and tastes.

I agree, it all depends on ones needs and tastes.

Curious, you say you want "more" from your email program. What do you mean by "more"?

It's difficult to explain, but I don't like the feel of web based Email, they are slightly more difficult to maneuver in, that a seperate program, and at times, some are harder to read, and to get to your settings, preferences, and such items are harder, to do, and also making new folders and doing small things, can be more difficult.

And the interfaces are just to me not as user friendly overall, I like more control, to contorl, the Color, the Fonts, size and such, the size, the abilitly to see more of my emails, more of my folders< I ve made and such, your limited with such things in web based mail, you generally take what they give you, with just a few options.

Nice discussing this with you, have a goodnight, I am off to bed

I love Eudora Light. It's not web-based, it's free, very customizable and easy to use. The Light version has a very small ad in the corner that's easy to ignore. The paid version has no ads. I don't work for them, I'm just a very satisfied user. http://www.eudora.com

I go with Thunderbird but I wouldn't call it simple. It has all the features I could ever think of and if it doesn't, well then you can just download an extension for it from the official site.

I also use Outlook Express, and Gmail. Gmail is from Google, and it's only web-based email that I've liked so far, and I've tried several. It's only available by invitation right now, but if you would like me to send you an invitation, let me know.

I quite like Gmail as well. It's got some useful features but at the same time some annoying limitations. For example. You click on "Compose Mail" but there's no option to select contacts from your contact list. Instead you have to remember to go via contacts, select who you want, then hit compose. That annoys me a little.
