| 171260 | 2003-08-28 20:59:00 | Is there another good E-mail program available (free) other than Outlook Express. I'm just an average home user running Win98. Have tried Incredimail but is tooooo fancy. | teddybear (2443) | ||
| 171261 | 2003-08-28 22:07:00 | Hi Teddybear :-) I have tried a few email clients now (but not Incredimail as I don't like fancy emails anymore) and have found Eudora to be the one that suits me the most. After OE it does take a little getting used to, but so do some of the others. You can use it as a free version (Lite) or Sponsored (with adverts) or pay for it. Another (free) one that you might be interested in is Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.org/) which I would be using if it were not for a couple of features that I need and it does not have. |

| 171262 | 2003-08-28 22:10:00 | teddybear I have used Pegasus Mail for the past 8 years. It does everything that I want it to do (and I am not using the latest version), has never crashed once on me and I cannot recommend it enough. As far as I know it is still free, and written by a fellow New Zealander. Check it out here. (http://www.pmail.com/) Oxie |

| 171263 | 2003-08-28 22:59:00 | Teddybear 'Best' relates to purpose - best for what? What particular options or features suit your purposes? There are so many available you maybe need to think through the criteria that are important to you. What seems 'best' for one person's purposes may irritate another user. |

| 171264 | 2003-08-28 23:16:00 | Hi Teddybear I found this Windows Email Clients (email.about.com) guide to be helpful when looking for a new email client. Some are free and some are not (or at least contain ads) so have a hunt through them. When I found one that looked interesting, I also did a google search for other reviews on that product. But as has been mentioned, you must need to know what features you require eg: do you need to access your hotmail account from within the program etc. You may find Thunderbird as Susan has suggested, suitable for your needs if you are looking for ease of use and simplicity. |

Unfortunately I still have to use OE just to get my Hotmail. :| |

So if having Hotmail access is important to Teddybear, then she might want to stick to OE or as you do, run dual email clients. |
