e-mail client

[John 'twosheds' McDonald]

The e-mail client software that I have been using for far too many years is no longer supported so, with Windows 7 on the horizon (I didn't bother with Vista and, eventually (and sadly) XP will be withdrawn) I need to look for something to replace what I had.

I thought I'd take advice from users here before I make the change to something new(er).

I use Outlook but in the past I have used Thunderbird by Mozilla, the same people that give us Firefox

[John 'twosheds' McDonald]

Thanks Chuck. Thunderbird was the one I was leaning toward but thought I would seek some input before deciding.

Mrs Twosheds uses Eudora but, for something that claims to be the market leading product, I find it very 'clunky' (know what I mean?).

I've been using Thunderbird on two machines for a couple years with no complaints.

Love Thunderbird!

Lots of great, free eye-candy and toys (just like FireFox) if you want it -- or it works so well you can just run it and never have to worry about it again.

I've never used anything except Outlook Express.

Thunderbird is my favorite, no problems at all

[John 'twosheds' McDonald]

Well I have been playing around with settings in Thunderbird today and it seems to do what I want so, particularly as it is FREE, (love that word!) then I'll probably stick with it. Thanks all for the input.

The wife and I have been using Incredimail for a couple of years now. I have the free version which has most of the features including EASY to use backgrounds, animations and sounds that are a no-brainer for anyone - even my mother. I bought the paid version for my wife which adds seasonal skins, a few more features and tech support. It's html email without the hassle.
