What if you work from home? :rolleyes: Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows www.getsoft.com and coming soon: Surfulater www.surfulater.com
Well, I guess you get to vote twice. ;) I'm just saying there is a difference between corporate and home email. Damn, I miss working from home. I need to find a job that only requires 1-2 days onsite.
I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon

Something was messed up with an office installion and continually tried to update installations of VS.NET and Office every time I launched one of the products along with completely hosing my FrontPage to the point it would not boot. Had to reinstall Office and did not want the hassle of getting everything hooked back up in Outlook for the more than 30 email accounts I use. So, instead of the hassle with Office again (as I do every time I reinstall), I switched to Mozilla Thunderbird for my email client. While it does not have the features Outlook does, it also (so far) does not have the virus problems that Outlook does. Personally, I do not use the calendar or scheduling in Outlook and mostly used it for an email client so no lose there. Configuration for a large number of email accounts in Thunderbird is a bit of a pain, but so far it seems to work okay. So, that brought to mind what I think would be good poll material. What email client are you using? I tried to pick a list of the most popular.

Hey thanks! That is what it is there for, to be used! Glad it can help out! I am pondering a link page where people can post a link to thier site if they have a poll active. Either that or possibly add a field to the poll for a web site link that the author can provide when they build the tip. Of course, that would be more beneficial if the tips were made public so that all the people that visit the site can see the other polls posted. What do you think?

I've been using The Bat! for quite some time and can recommend it especially when you have a lot of accounts. I do do some forwarding and by using The Bats macro's you can quite easilly handle the 'reply to/from' issue you mention. I'm also keeping an eye on Thunderbird but so far it doesn't come close to The Bat! for lots of accounts etc. You should check it out.

Ahh, so you're the other guy who voted for The Bat! :) I really like it and probably wouldn't change it (I also have a lot of accounts), but what I don't like about it is how it works with HTML e-mails. Usually when replying to an HTML e-mail, a lot of space between the words in the original message will get lost, and the words will connect. Does this happen to you too? Btw I'm still using 2.11, but this has been happening for quite some time. Finally, it is great that there is the HTML email composer, but there's still a lot to do to make it more useful. For example it would be great if HTML emails were supported in templates for new messages or for replies. Rado

I don't use HTML emails and persoanlly don't like them as they just add unnecessary clutter most of the time. But you are definitely right that TB doesn't handle HTML very well. It has improved over the last few years but still has a way to go. They seem to be more interested in continually new stuff than fixing things like this, which is a pity. Still I have yet to see anything better. Have you used it with IMAP? That is something I'd like to try when I have some spare time.:rolleyes: Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows www.getsoft.com and coming soon: Surfulater www.surfulater.com

Well, I don't use it too often, but sometimes it is usefull when you need write a short manual in an e-mail etc. Then it is good to be able to use bold, italic, or bulleted lists.

You might want to make the distiction vs. home and work email. I'm sure most of us use outlook at work.

You're missing several options. Let's not forget Lotus Notes. :-D And also what about web-based clients? At home I use one of those provided by my ISP. Much easier to just keep all the mail on their stinkin' server and be able to access it from anywhere and not just this computer. An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
