Best Email Client?

Well shit, I was hoping for some really cool mail clients that I've never heard of to play around with. I've got Win Mail on my machine and in the past never had luck with Thunderbird, so I'm biased against TBird. Someone suggested "Smarter Mail", but it looks like that's a mailserver and not an email client.

Basically, as email clients go, there's nothing really new and cool? Just stick with Win Mail or webmail, huh? Sad Mike. :(
 


I've tried this a couple of times - moving from webmail to Thunderbird. And I always go back to gmail/google apps. Things that take me 1 step in gmail take me 2-3 or more. You end up getting spoiled by how easy it is. I tried it again the past two weeks because I wanted HTML signatures with images. So I spent a lot of time trying to get Tbird working like gmail (all parts of a conversatiob being kept together, getting archive to work, etc). It never worked exactly like gmail - and then gmail goes and adds html sigs + images this week. So yesterday and today I've been back to using the web and I am blazing through my email again.

Hate google all you want. But once you get used to working and being productive in their email nothing else can really compare.

No luck with TB? The new version autoconfigures IMAP gmail accounts. All you need to provide is your email and password.
 
I've read the new version of Outlook 2010 is really good and that a hosted exchange 2010 account runs around $10 /month, possible option having both a client and web access. I hate that gmail doesn't allow more than 5 external pop/imap accounts to be part of the inbox which I need + the web access.
 
Outlook here. You can setup multi email addresses and different sigs for each email address. I haven't tried any of the other options above tho.
 
My vote goes for outlook as well, Although thunderbird is pretty good as well and very light on your system.
 
honestly, it can only be outlook, thunderbird is not even in the same league

it does so much more then email only, calender and to do list will help you organize your work so much better
 
^^ shit man I have read your post after posting lol more than a year old post. try Eudora works on both mac and windows.
 
Wow.. Eudora is still around?

and yeah.. I don't think using gmail (or docs) is a good idea given the privacy policy changes that will allow them to pool the data across all products. I've been moving everything away onto my own server and just when you think you have everything done, up pops a few more emails to the gmail.
