Thread: Email clients.

  1. #1

    Default Email clients.

    Discuss what mail program you prefer to use and why. In particular, I am interested to hear who uses webmail over a POP client. I use both Gmail and Thunderbird, and the clunkiness of Thunderbird sometimes makes me consider switching entirely to web-based mail like Gmail. I still stick with Thunderbird because it stores all my mail on my hard-drive, which is nice to access when I am not connected to the Internet, but when was the last time that ever happened? Anyways, thoughts.

    I never could get used to thunderbird, so I'm still using outlook express.

    I remember trying to use eudora back in the day, because I didn't know what my email client was and that was the only name I remembered.

    I use Hotmail and Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Hotmail stinks, my inbox always gets spammed up and it's always full to the brim because they offer you a minuscule amount of space.

    Gmail is nice. But it gets a little confusing at times with so many emails.

    Yahoo is okay.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I use gmail's webmail. I access my email from various places, so I really didn't see a need to download my emails. I'm happy with gmail's spam filter and email filter.

    I like Thunderbird, it is quite daunting at first but not compared to Opera's built in pop client. The filters work a treat in Thunderbird.

    I never use any web-based e-mail other than Yahoo!. I'm interesting in getting Outlook Express going, but I'm too lazy. I've signed up for a hotmail account which I rarely ever check. I use it when signing up for stuff that I don't want e-mails from.

    Thunderbird, because one of my e-mail accounts is POP only, but Gmail is good.

    I prefer Gmail via web interface. Sometimes Squirrelmail running on my server. To access certain accounts I don't want crapping up my Gmail, I use Mail.app in OS X. I've used Evolution in Linux at times, it's better than most. In college we used Pine, but it wasn't for POP3, it was for IMAP. If I'm in need of a very fast glance at email on a server, I use fetchmail in Linux. At work I'm forced to use Outlook. I stay far away from Thunderbird. I would not wish Outlook Express upon my worst enemy.

    I use the email provided by my ISP. Bellsouth.net.
    I've yet to have any problems with it. The spam protection is exceptional and the viral protection is great.

    I use Yahoo because, well, I always have and I love tradition.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail.

    Gmail's just for EoFF stuff, yahoo is for offline people business and I have no idea why I still have hotmail.

    Hotmail, but then again, no one ever emails me except for one person. Oh and that's how I get mail from my teachers telling me what my grades are and whatnot or when LJ reminds me that someone commented. My mom tried getting outlook express to work, but it kept messing up our computer everytime she tried to do something on it, so I set her up with a hotmail account.
