    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?

                One newbie question: An email account in an email client can synchronize from multiple email accounts on the net or so right?

                  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

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

                              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.

                                    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?

                                    Use Outlook 2010, great for what I do.

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

                                      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!

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

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