Best email program?
Not really a business query per se, but I'd really like to know which email programs adult webmasters are using, particularly for submissions that require domain-related email addies. A couple of long-term users have recommended Thunderbird. Are there others worth considering?

I personally use Windows Live Mail, like it and recommend it.

I think you can attach your domain emails to gmail, but I'm not 100%. That's what I use for most of my stuff. Or outlook.

Yes, you can set up different "froms" in Gmail pretty easily. Plus Gmail has gotten really good at filtering spam.

Thanks for the input Giggles and AJ. I've been using the old Outlook one for years, despite its downsides, so will probably opt for Live Mail. For me, making these simple decisions is one of the worst parts of setting up a new computer.

That which does not kill us, will try, try again.

I use Mac's Mail app for personal emails but I've used Eudora for business email since 1996 or so and haven't ever found a good reason to migrate away from it.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

I'm also still using Eudora : )

Thunderbird gets my vote, very reliable and works great with PC and Mac

hmmm... I guess I'd written Eudora off as 'OLD' and Thunderbird nearly the same. But if there's webmasters still using these with less problems than the newer email programs I'm interested in hearing the big reaqsons why

I'm not aware of many email programs that are any newer than Thunderbird, unless you're also counting web based services like gmail. Web based email may be more convenient if you access your email from multiple devices, but I'm just not comfortable with my saved private correspondence sitting on a server somewhere that can be hacked. If it's only archived on my own PC it's far less vulnerable. I can still check for new email from my phone, laptop, etc. I just can't access the saved email unless I'm on my main PC. |

Well you know boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like women. You just have to read the manual and press the right button

I did use Eudora from the beginning up until I upgraded to Windows 7. There's only so long you can go before you can continue using a program that is no longer updated or supported.
Thunderbird for me now.

I check my most important accounts mobile, but still download it all to whatever computer has Eudora on it. Is anyone using Eudora OSE 1.0 ? www.eudora.com

Same here. I also converted all my accounts from pop to IMAP at the same time.

I'd not seen any announcement that it was available and had pretty much forgotten about it. If OSE 1.0 will allow import of my existing email files I may switch over. Looks like I have some reading to do. Last edited by Toby; 2011-09-29 at 08:18 AM.. |
