Poll: Primary E-Mail Client

[[AK]Nuts]

Good morning from foggy San Francisco. Today's useless human engineering poll is: What's your primary e-mail client?

5 days till Christmas!

Technically, I use Thunderbird AND Gmail. I could use Thunderbird to download my GMAIL email, but I don't.

I have an old copy of Netscape Navigator that I use for my mail client It is great cuz all the files are in a folder and I can rebuild/transfer all my stuff in one file transfer. I have not looked at anything else since I have had no problems with it in 5 years. If there is something else out there that works the same way I would try it. Just have to be able to import my exsisting stuff and still be able to transfer the data relatively easily. I rebuild my systems usually every 6 months and I like being able to quickly get my mail back up to speed.

I've got three e-mail accounts that I use more or less equally, and I use a different client to check each one. For work I use Outlook/Entourage (my mail is on an Exchange server), for my augustknights.com account, I use Thunderbird, and I've got a verizon.net account that I check with Outlook Express. Since 2 of my 3 clients are covered with Outlook/OE, that's where I placed my entry.

Like Beast, I have 3 email accounts that I use for different things. Home use is my ISP, junk email (like whenever a web site asks for my email address) goes to hotmail, and friends use gmail.

At work we use Outlook for business mail and I use a Firefox browser to his my three email accounts (Road Runner, Excite, Gmail). At home I use Thunderbird, took a while to adjust from Outlook Express but now I'm glad I made the switch.

Ya, I'm still getting comfortable with TBird over Outlook 2003. I found the calendar extension but I wish it was part of the program rather than a seperate component. I know they try to keep TBird from being a bloated app like Outlook, but c'mon.

Also TBird failed to import all my mail accounts as promised. Arg!

Realy? It didn't have a problem with my Outlook Express accounts. In fact the install was so easy that once it was done I was completely ready to go. I was very impressed.

The main reason I switched was not for functionality but because of security. Outlook Express is chock full of holes.

Nuts.. you mentioned wanting the Calendering function and thought you should know that Mozilla is answering your desires. They are combining Thunderbird with Sunbird (their calendar application) into an application called "Lightning". You might want to check it out!

For me it is still AOHELL I think for the most part I am still with them because I have been with them the longest. Since 94 geesh 10 years with the same e-mail provider no wonder I have so much spam. You would think I would be able to make a mean Spamwich by now lol. Cheers all.

I use Horde.. mainly cause I'm too lazy to download thunderbird and set it up.
