After a good, freeware email program, that is easy to use?

Still on Xp Home.

Thanks,

Ian.

1295583 2012-08-20 03:37:00 Ian are you looking to read/send email by connecting to your ISP's server directly (POP/SMTP)?

This technique is called using a mail client and it's a bit-old-fashioned .

* It makes it harder to travel .

* If you're PC's stolen or crashes, you may lose some email, though advanced configuration can limit this problem .

* If you change ISP, it can cause some grief with notifying people of your new address .

Most people use a service, like Gmail or Hotmail, as opposed to a mail client .

1295585 2012-08-20 03:52:00 Thanks for the input.

I've tried, Thunderbird, but not what I'd call simple.

I look some 8 Gmail accounts, so needs to be simple.

Direct off Webmail works, but not easy with so many accounts
