Simon Brown Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I was wandering what email program people use. Which you think is the best and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncfan51 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 That would be Webmail. I used to use Outlook about 3 or 4 years ago, but I now use webmail (Yahoo and sometimes Gmail) exclusively.

david.atwell Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 GMAIL !!! Why isnt it on the list. GMail isn't a client, it's a service. And that comment actually gets at the reason why I think this poll is fairly pointless; a great number of people are using web-based email without a client. And why wouldn't they? Internet connections are permanent, by and large, so there's little need for offline availability, and the online client is much easier to update, making for cleaner, less buggy interfaces. Not to mention spam filtering and virus filtering is immensely easier. Nowadays, it's almost impossible to get a virus on your machine (unless you're stupid or very, very unlucky). But I'll let it stay open for the moment. See how magnanimous I am? ;-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i use windows live mail. i think it is pretty good, *shrugs* nothin wrong w/ it. and i like it.Agreed. I did try Thunderbird, but found using Live Mail far easier to set up all three of my accounts than with TB, which includes a Gmail account. I am unhappy at times with Live Mail, for instance, no matter how many times I tell it to, or enter it onto my Safe List, 'paint.net@hotmail.com' will always be considered an unknown sender. Another instance is its junk filter: I add the offender to my Blocked List, and use the block and unsubscribe feature, yet the offending address keeps on coming. There is no doubt on a one character difference in addresses that I'm failing to see, so I'll let Live Mail have that one. With all the above said, though, I'm happy with Live Mail and see no reason to switch to anything else yet. ...a great number of people are using web-based email without a client. And why wouldn't they? Internet connections are permanent, by and large, so there's little need for offline availability...Although you are taking into consideration the majority, and my use is no doubt of the minority, but having an offline client makes it far more convenient to write multiple e-mails for sending at a later time, which is the sole reason I'm using the offline client over the online parent. Additionally, I can organise my mail and do virtually most tasks (bar sending) whilst offline, something that cannot be done whilst online with no Internet connection.
