Which E-mail Client do you use?

[reb2 0]

opera's M2 for me, it seems so logical to have the email program as part of the web browser, anytime i'm online (which is a lot) my mail is there "live" all the while.

easy to set up (for my needs anyway) and works a treat.

 

just thinking out loud here but being as opera is one application / program, does that mean it uses less resources to run both browser and mail simultaniously?

or is it just a great big hunk of bloatware?

 

oh and the new version of the "free" opera is now adbar free! woot.

Thunderbird (ex Evolution) I only switched because Evolution got so messed up, but I do like the spam filter.

 

Having said that Thunderbird is a pain to set up.

I use .... firefox!

I'm a a gmail user so really I could use any browser, Firefox just happens to be my browser of choice, in large part because I can use it both in windows and Linux.

 

If I were to use pop3, I'd probably use KMail, just because I'm a KDE user.

 

I fact, I would like to fetch my gmail mail into a linux mailbox nightly using a cron job, so that I can read it offline using a client like KMail.

I used to use Thunderbird to pick up my gmail. They do have config pages if you've not already checked/used for the cron job, or for a mail client usage.

How come you found it a pain to configure? It worked within minutes for me :P

 

The only thing is when I copy my email off, rebuild the machine, and copy it back, I have to reset the spam filter.

I'm an Opera user so i use it's all in one clients for news feeds, email, and surfing the web. It also helps me to avoid installing a lot of software that i won't use very often (Kontact). I due install Kmail sometimes though, just because i used it before switch to Opera full time.

Well you are obviously far smarter than me

The set up from scratch was actually ok (no harder than Outlook) but when upgrading or installing a new OS and using the same mailbox and settings (or importing mail from another Thunderbird install) it is a real pain in the arse. The only way I found was to symlink to the old directory and manually amend the conf file.
