Mail Clients
-
I have like 3 to 4 email addresses (I know it's low compared to the numbers you guys have!) and thought about using a mail client to synchronize all of them at once. Here's what I want to do: Combine all of the email addresses together into a single mail account in the Mail client and get them delivered to my desktop. I know it's probably a simple thing to do but I'm a total newbie in these things so I would appreciate it if you guys could suggest a good piece of Mail software. Currently I'm annoyed by the "Outlook Express needs to synchronize or whatever" message that pops up everytime I boot up Windows(I don't think I have it installed in the first place!) and I'm looking at Mozilla Thunderbird. What do you recommend?

I got three. One official, one personal and one that I never visit. That is the one I use to register on sites who annoy with lot of promotion mails. BTW Outlook/windows mail is good IMHO.

I run a few email accounts - a mix of "real" SMTP/POP and web-based (eg gmail) from Thunderbird, and it's all cool. When stuff arrives, message filters (aka rules) can do all sorts of things with it. I also use Thunderbird as an RSS reader pulling a few feeds and sorting wheat from chaff with filters. So, my vote for Thunderbird too. Cheers, Peter

Thanks for your opinion! I'll take a serious look at Thunderbird. :)

No. An email account is a single identity (i.e. one POP/IMAP address for receiving mail and a single SMTP/IMAP account for sending mail). /ravi

Thanks for the information. But darn..I always thought a single account on a client could handle multiple email addresses. Ah well.... :(

Is the one you don't visit Yahoo or perhaps Hotmail? :D Thanks for your opinion! I'll see if I can get Outlook(the full version).

Outlook Express sort of annoys me with a message at startup asking me to synchronize stuff when I'm not using it at all till now! :sigh:

They all work pretty much the same, so you might as well choose based on which user interface you prefer.

All work well, but I guess the major players here are thunderbird and outlook...

Sure. I have yet to have a look at Thunderbird's UI. Will check it out once I get home.

I use Outlook - it can happily handle POP3 and IMAP mail accounts simultaneously, and picks up my mail from several accounts automatically. Works for me!

Windows Live Mail also looks nice after they replaced it with Outlook Express for OSes above Win XP.

A second vote for Outlook 2010. I run the 64 bit version of Office 2010, and I have been told that Outlook 64 will handle up to 50 Gig PST files (although mine isn't that big yet!) If you're like me, and want to keep masses of emails, that's pretty good. I got bored with continual archiving, and the consequent delays when searching for an old item.

Its un-limited. Thats great.. Will try today ..

any mail client should be capable to receive messages from different servers - so where is the effort on synchronizing all on one account? And you probable want to answer with the same address the mail was received on - so you need connection to the server anyway. Stick with your favourite mail client and configure it right. If you want more comfort - get a webspace with pop3 and set up your own email addresses. regards Torsten

Depending on the client you can have all your pop accounts download into a single folder, and pick which one you want to reply with when writing the message. I've done both with OE, the latter with Outlook as well (was down to a single pop account so never needed to try the former).

Thunderbird allows you to direct mail read, filtered and sent from any account to any folder, so you can effectively mimic this. /ravi
