OT: Good email client?
|
|
|
| Outlook Express is really getting annoying. I have a lot of email accounts I
want it to check
by default every so often and it does check some of them but not all.
I like Outlook's interface/layout etc. so hopefully I can find something
similar in look/style
that will actually do what I want it to do...

I really like Thunderbird - have been using it for a few months now. Was
using Mozilla Mail before that, and Outlook before that. :-)

I'll second that recommendation. I used to use OE many years ago and
have since used Netscape, Opera, Kmail, Evolution and Thunderbird. Of
all of them, Thunderbird is certainly my favourite.

In Outlook Express you can click on TOOLS >> ACCOUNTS and then the MAIL tab
Find the email accounts not being checked and select them and click the
PROPERTIES button
On the first panel that comes up, check the box "Include this account when
receiving mail or synchronizing"
Click OK and then do any remaining accounts...

Yep. Finally made the switch to Thunderbird awhile ago and really like
it. The user extension thing is wonderful.
The only major aspect that needs to be improved is in how it handle SMTP
settings. Fortunately, the fix for this is in active development and
will hopefully be released soon.
You can follow progress on this at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202468
You can still use custom SMTP setting for each account, it's just a
little cumbersome to do so at the moment.

It has been that way for a long time now and still OE just picks and chooses
which accounts it really wants to check.

I've been using Pegasus for some while but the problem there is that
despite its popularity and extensive usage it doesn't have a commercial
concern doing any PR for it, so it's pretty much off the radar when it
comes to "how to" and "what if" FAQs. Otherwise it's excellent.

That was my email client of choice, too. I was going to mention it, and
then I saw all of the Thunderbird recommendations, and remembered that
OP wants it to look like OE, and didn't. Great client, though, for
anyone that doesn't need an OE face.

Ya, I guess obscure is a better word. Fortunately, one only needs to do
it once for each account and it does work once done.

Are you sure it's OE playing up? I've seen that behaviour before and it
usually turns out to be a temporary routing issue or a mail server
taking a rest/bath/powder. Anyway, you can set your mail client to
refresh every 5 (4,3,2,1 whatever floats your boat) minutes and then you
only need investigate if it happens twice in a row.
I must be easy to please - I have no complaints about O/E since Red
showed us all the 'text only' settings (delivered in sp-1 I think) and I
discovered quotefix.
There may be better mail clients - depends how you define 'better'.
I used popcorn for a while - runs straight from one of them USB dongle
H/D thingies (or a floppy) - when I was travelling more than I do now.

but it does have its own newsgroup - there's also one for the mail
server from the same outfit.

Take a look at Foxmail - looks like OE, and very stable with many more
options. I've been using it for over a year now.

If you decide to try it, do not use the author's download site - it's in

Thanks for your suggestion about Thunderbird and thanks to everyone else
that suggested it also. I tried it but it really would be too much of a pain
to set up.
It imported the emails and accounts but didn't get my filters etc.
Also it really isn't much like OE. I did like some things like the disabled
images
but not enough to really keep it and forge ahead resetting up all my filters
etc.
Thanks again,
Heidi

Are you just talking about the automated install when you first run it,
or did you try importing them manually (Tools>Import...)? I don't know
whether it does import filter rules or not - haven't ever gone straight
from OE to TB.

"All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less." -Michael Elkins, c.1995
When I used Windows, Becky 2 and Eudora 5.x didn't suck very much. I have
Thunderbird installed on a computer at work -- it doesn't suck much either.
On Linux, Evolution, Sylpheed, Mutt and Pine don't suck very much.

I read this thread, and quite a few people seem to like
Thunderbird. I can see why, except for one thing that annoys
me so much that it's the sole and only reason I don't use it:
When replying to messages, Thunderbird keeps adding extra
blank lines between replies. Has that changed since last time
I looked maybe? Or is it something that can be turned off?

Currently I'm sticking with Pegasus as I have lots of identities for

LookOut thankfully but it's handling of HTML is somewhat weak.

As I have it set up its handling of HTML is practically nonexistent, which

Aye, I think they've changed it - I just had to do a clean reinstall

You can, but only one will show up in the account list. Tbird seems to
kinda-sorta support multiple profiles for the same server, judging from what I
saw tonight. I pointed two accounts at news.justthe.net, and two separate
profiles with separate newsrc's were created, but only the original account
showed up in the list of accounts in the main window. Then I clicked on
newsgroups I'd subscribed to on the main profile and it asked me if I wanted to
subscribe to those newsgroups (I assume on the second profile).
I think, at this point at least, that it's safe to assume that you can't use
the same server more than once in Tbird.

Cheat. You own several domain names, I'm sure.
Point a CNAME record "news.williamtasso.com" at "news.individual.net" and
then set up two accounts -- one at individual.net and one at

Of course, you could also just edit your /etc/hosts or
{WindowsSystem32Directory}\drivers\etc\hosts and set up a few fake hostnames to
point to the news server's IP address.

Hosts file would then have to be replicated across all client devices.
Could be a trivial solution for just one PC though.
Alternatively, I could set up a forwarder at the local DNS server but
even so that is still limited to usage on this LAN.
Unfortunately, both of these methods collapse when the ip-address of the
target server changes.
In an ideal world the developers of Mozilla/Thunderbird would realise
there is limited mileage to be gained from trying to be too clever and
simply deliver an interface that allows complete user control. Maybe
now is the time to split out the news-client (and RSS-reader) into
separate projects.
As always - YMMV.

Would that be classified as a bug? Seems like a major change in
direction for the project.
Besides, I'm evaluating the product now - how it stacks up several
months down the line is a different issue.
Frankly, I think the developers have done a splendid job so far. I see
no need to distract them from their endeavours with odd-ball requests
for fundamental changes. In the end, the choices lie with me. I can
either accept and use the product as it is or select another.
FWIW: I am unlikely to continue using the same program for mail and
Usenet for much longer.

I never have. I'm very happy with Agent for Usenet. It's not a
program I would use for email, and I don't like any of the email
programs nearly as much for Usenet. Having one more open window isn't
a big deal, and Agent doessn't seem to be a memory/CPU hog.

Bugzilla is used to make suggestions about new features too. Get yourself a
Bugzilla account at Mozilla and go to the page where you file a new "bug". You
can set the status to (I believe) "Enhancement" if you have product suggestions
that aren't bugfixes.

Even more of a reason to file a report.

But you won't. They'll only work on it if they have the resources to work on
it. I still suggest that you file a report.

I understand the sentiment but it still makes it very difficult to
reply to someone who has sent an email to me using Outlook (full
version not just Express).
It would be ok if Pegasus rendered it accurately to pure text (my
preferred option) but it doesn't (for me anyway).

There's always raw view. I find that covers most eventualities. As does
"please send me the email again as plain text".

I'm not saying there is no way round. I usually copy then paste text
as quote. I just don't see why pmail can't do this for me. It has to
live in the real world.

I don't have so many customers that I can afford to lose them so I
accommodate their whims and ignorance.
