email app suggestion?

[g222leav]

i'm an outlook express user (yes i know)...but i'm wondering about what program to switch over...i hear eudora a lot...

which one has the most outlook-ish like interface (just cuase i'm spoiled)...

oh yea, i've been using msn dial-up with disables outlooks smtp service so i wouldn't be able to send out any viruses even if i got any (or so i figure) but just to be on the safe side i've decided to use a new prog, and try to retain some friends.

oh yea, if you give a suggestion....please give link to d/l.....thank you

freeware is highly preferable!!!

i dig eudora as well...they make a nice palm app too that syncs your mail to your palm...

i'm currently using netscape's client though...just cuz i'm lazy and i haven't d/l'd eudora yet...and b/c i like the news reader being integrated into my email client

yeah, eudora uses adware to support the program now, but they do have a pay version without ads, but i dont think it has many, if any, improvements over the free version.

Yep, eudora is a lot faster and safer. /me puts up a vote for eudora.

Why are you switching?

Have a look at MS Outlook. Like Outlook Express but with a helluva lot more features. It's bundled w/Office, so you may already have it. Plus, you'll find the interface to be quite similar to Outlook Express (go figure!).

i already have outlook 2002 (i think, the one that came with xp), but like i said the dial up that i'm using disables the smtp so i can't send out any emails i compose, i can recieve, but not send, so it's a bitch. that's the main reason. but the security the other, i've been getting a lot of wierd emails lately.
