Good free email client outside of MS Office?
-
Got an installer problem and have to completely remove MS office and reinstall. Tired of having my email account information tied to Office for just these kinds of things. Also hate moving to a new machine and going through all the work to move my email and settings for 30 email accounts. Any good freeware email accounts that handle multiple email accounts and filtering to allow messages from different accounts to go into different folders? Only one I can seem to find is PocoMail, but I have a hard time justifing $40 for just an email client. Any C#/.NET email clients out there with source?

IMO, Outlook's PST are nice in that they can be moved easily and are their own file system, thus not relying on the OS's file system like some others (Outlook Expression and Netscape Mail come to mind). I'm not sure about Thunderbird as someone else mentioned above (though there's your source code, Marc!). Also, consider - if possible - protocols like Exchange and IMAP where mail stays on the server. This really helps with migration issues, not to mention getting access to that email you forgot to leave posted on the server in a POP3 environment where you already downloaded it at home! Many web mail providers - like Hotmail - offer to POP your mail for you from other services as well, thus helping to consolidate your accounts. Just something else to think about.

Now, that would make a good CodeProject team project :) Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com

Yes, the setup for multiple SMTP server stinks. That was as far as I got. Eudora about seems to be the closest thing at the moment. Which they had Evolution on Windows, but it may not work well with multiple accounts either. I liked Poco I believe it was because you could simply copy the folder to another machine and use it. That was handy (a lot like programs under Windows 3.x before the stupid registry). Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com

I like to use SMTP for each as the message route will use the domain name instead of coming from some other name. Most people never see that part of the message, but I like it to be there anyway.

Yeah, that would be legacy C++ wouldn't it :) Heath Stewart wrote: Also, consider - if possible - protocols like Exchange and IMAP where mail stays on the server. Yeah, do not use either. Run a simple POP3 and that handles everything I need. I keep copies of all my email so that would really pain on the server. I could just see when I have to search for that specific message :) Thanks for the post. Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com

It would crash occasionally. Huh? How did you manage that?? I'm using Pegasus Mail for about 3 years already, and it never ever crashed. It's one of the most stable programs I know! I've never come across any email clients with source code. If you find one, let me know! Mozilla Thunderbird. In my opinion the one and only e-mail client that can compete with Pegasus Mail, also you can get the full source code (C++, not C#) http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ Dominik

It would crash on certain emails, and about every hour doing a background email check. And this wasn't isolated to one machine/OS either. Also, I could never get embedded images to show up properly. Followed the instructions, but they caused problems. So, I gave up. Thunderbird looks interesting. If I could clone myself, a C# port would be interesting too!

I use The Bat! by RITLabs http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/[^] It handles multiple accounts very well and has most all of the bells and whistles you need, however it isn't free. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows www.getsoft.com and coming soon: Surfulater www.surfulater.com
