Thread: Email program

OK, I've finally had reason to switch to Windows 7 and I don't want to use Windows Live mail.... what do ppl recommend?

I use Gmail.

Gmail. Same interface wherever you are. Labels are great. There's nothing a client has that gmail doesn't do, at least for my needs.

Or use Thunderbird.

Zimbra for webmail
Outlook (2003 / 2007 / 2010) For calander notes and tasks.

Gmail, thunderbird to backup Gmail.

I have a gmail addy but its not my primary but I cant believe how many of you like the interface... its God awful. Gmail is out if for no other reason then I want to have my emails available offline.

I used to use Thunderbird as my primary email prog for a long time but then it would take ages to load the longer I had it. I've recently used Windows mail and Windows Live mail (both quiet neat GUI's) but its time for a change.

Thunderbird may win out, looking for more suggestions.

Gmail can be available offline.

And the new interface is sweet.

You can use gmail as a "traditional" email address. You just set it up for pop or imap and download it using a client like thunderbird.

I'm aware of that Harb but my internode email has been my main email for a good while now. I have lots and lots of subscriptions linked to it and its a pain in the arse to change over.

The Gmail interface will have to get a lot better for me to move to that as my primary email interface and address.
