blike Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 It has to be free (open source or freeware) and good. I'm sick of outlook express. What do you all use?
Dave Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah, doesn't execute any javascript stuff as far as I'm aware. Good junk mail filtering as well, and a plethora of options.
Sayonara Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 It has to be free (open source or freeware) and good. I'm sick of outlook express. What do you all use? Oh good lord. Outlook express = bumspawn of satan. I use Outlook 2003 for WinXP (mozilla builds annoy me), and Kmail under Linux.
Dave Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 The layout for things in Outlook 2003 annoys me more, and I can't see any obvious way to change it (typical MS) so I stuck with Mozilla - nice simple client.
Sayonara Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I have like a zillion pop and IMAP accounts though and Mozilla doesn't handle that quite so well. Security in 2003 has been beefed up to the max, and it actually handles IMAP properly now. What part of the layout?
Dave Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 If we're thinking of the same one (I have the one bundled with MS Office 2003), the messages are displayed on the right hand side with a list of messages in the middle, and I don't really like that layout.

View > Reading Pane > Right/Bottom/Off With "off" being the sensible option
Dave Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Ah yes, that's done the trick. Thanks for that. Should've read the "Welcome to Outlook 2003" bit
Glider Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I use Eudora. It seems to work well, especially with multiple accounts.
Sayonara Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Try Mozilla Thunderbird, it's rather good. I downloaded the latest build of that today, so I'll let you know when I have given it a whirl. Also got the new builds of M and firefox - that web developer plugin for firefox is fkin delicious.
mbeychok Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I have used Netscape as my email client for 5 years now ... and I think it is far , far better that Outlook Express. Milt Beychok
Sayonara Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 That's not hard, what with Outlook Express being the worst e-mail client available I am impressed with the latest build of Thunderbird :thumbsup: Completely painless and super-fast import of Outlook 2003 settings and mail was a shocker. Intelligent junk capturing and HTML sanitisation was the icing on the cake.
