Best email program?

Mizz B · 2011-09-14, 11:03 PM

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.

I feel the same. I began with Hotmail associated to Outlook, then Outlook only, then Windows Mail and now Windows Live Mail.

Mail.app on my Mac, love it.

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.

+1

Gmail may be da bomb, but it's not appropriate for doing business correspondence.

As for spam control, you can't beat SpamArrest.

I'm also still using Eudora : )

I've personally always used Thunderbird.

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

Mizz B · 2011-09-20, 09:39 PM

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

Why? Eudora still does everything I need it to do, so no reason switch.

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.

eudora just "works" no need to change it...plus i have all of my emails back to 1996...how cool is that ...

JK · 2011-09-22, 06:39 AM

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'm also still using Eudora (currently version 7) with over a decade of email backed up.

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 ?

Eudora? Wow! I thought everyone stopped using that in Version 4?!?!?!

I am using the Apple Mail.App and haven't been more in love with my email;-)

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

In the QualComm statement, a couple of years ago, announcing they were no longer going to be producing new commercial versions of Eudora they also announced plans to hook up with the peeps at Mozilla to produce an open source version based on Thunderbird code.

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.
