Good email program?
 

Sick of using Chrome to open my email...since I use it a lot, figure I should use a program so I can have it running separately from my browser. Any recommendations?

Microsoft Outlook.

:up: I'll look at it.

EDIT: Really don't like the way Microsoft tries to suck you into that whole "sync everything together with one account" idea. I'd prefer to not.

What about your ISP? Do they provide any type of e-mail access on their website?

Mine does.:yeah:

Oh yeah? That was my idea. Bill wanted to go with disconnected products but I talked him out of it.

:har: I'm sorry, you know who makes Chrome don't you? That's right, the kings of single-account access.

I use Opera Mail and Thunderbird. I like both. Feels much more lightweight compared to Outlook (which also feels very much like work). :)

Outlook or what is known as Live Mail. Works fine for me. Do not have to sync anything if you don't want to.

Hi,
for private use you could take Thunderbird, which is relatively easy to set up and work with, and it is free.

For professional use there can only be Outlook, much more options than Thunderbird and unbeatable with Microsoft Exchange Server..
But you can use it privately as stand-alone without Exchange, and it still has lots of useful functions, from archiving to backup, to notices of absence, and a full scale calendar with reminders (and a lot more). Even if you think you do not need it, believe me you soon will.

And i have come to like MS a lot more, since i understand what the fuzz is all about. To hell with Apple and Google! :03:

i use incredimail, you have a free version and a pro version

Yeah, for my personal email address I'm still on gmail and it is obviously a kind of "one account to rule your whole life" kind of deal. For business, though, I wanted something a little more professional, so I went with the email address services from 1&1 which you can also merge to outlook if you want to monitor multiple accounts. I've had a good experience.

Same here. Tho I'm still using Hotmail thru Outlook. Either is good and I've been using Hotmail for years with no problems. The only thing is you can only send the max of 10MBs in a file at a time. To get around this I use DropBox, and with it you can send any size file you want.

Thunderbird. Why getting stuff from Microsoft and by that help them to keep strong in business? They don't deserve it.

Also, regarding the mentioned more options in Outlook - consider whether you really need all these for your purposes.

Does Thunderbird have the ability to delete emails yet? Not just hide them. Delete them.
