The swiss army knife approche was an awefull choice but that concept is now dead. PS: For all you mozilla/netscape haters it is time to reconsider. So for all you windows users all I can recomand is to ditch OE and switch to the all powerfull Thunderbird. They are a few others with their good sides but they are never feature full.

Outlook, Pegasus, The Bat, Opera etc either have horrible interfaces or are not free enough.įoxmail’s interface is cool but they are many bugs and no imap!!! I it was simple enough for my howdoesamousework? aunt but the bugs kept having her call me. OE has the best interface but then every time a family member gets a virus everybody gets it. I have long tried to find a decent client for my family. (I don’t think OE invented this but it is true that most clients can’t do it)

It is a great client execpt for one thing I couldn’t do (you probably can do it through filters and stuff): have a different password for your SMTP and POP on a given Identity.Īnd the interface is getting old for non power users.īY THE WAY: Eudora can download mail and delete it of the server 3 days later. Thunderbird is fast and has all the features even though it is only 0.1 (it’s the mozilla client but stand alone and with a new UI).Įudora was my original pick. I’m coming back now that Thunderbird is out. I quit Windows when I couldn’t find a decent mail client. Kmail is simple and slim and just works as it´s expected to. Evolution is too much Outlook-like to my taste, with all that unnecessary PIM utilities that I personaly never use. However, it is very hard to make it work properly avoiding viruses. I do use and love Outlook Express in Windows because it does everything I need with a simple interface. Therefore Mozilla ThunderBird surely cannot make the havoc that Microsoft clients can. Everybody and their dogs knows that it is a bad thing and that ActiveX should be erradicated off the face of the earth!!! ?Īnother e-mail clients won´t do any harm to your system because of this kind of viruses/worms unless it uses Internet Explorer engine to render HTML. It is just another example of the “feature over security” mentality that Microsoft has. What makes Outlook and/or Outlook Express so vulnerable is the fact that it is completely integrated to Windows, have too much privileges and can run scripts and ActiveX programs(in its default setup, though). Slower machines will easily forgive its slowness.
In its layout and integrated Spam tools that owners of (roughly 800mHz and up), and for these machines it remains Mozilla is plenty fast on Pentium III class machines The biggest advantage over Spamkiller is the uncanny ability to flag Nigerian scams. “junk” or “not junk” (with a simple right click) the improvement in accuracy was enough to make it better than Spamkiller. After a couple of weeks of marking mail as Image downloads if you want to it can be set to not use It does a good job handling accounts it blocks remote Of the two programs, the browser and the mail client, I Lacks a spell checker, although it’s easy enough to add I run Mozilla on a rather underpowered Transmeta machine.īoth the browser and mail client are slow.
