Cliffs: What email Client do you use and why?
What email client do you use? There are too many out there so Im not going to do this as a pole.
Just because I am unusually verbose in this post does not mean you should feel obligated to do the same.
Email Client is defined as.
Since I started my new job Ive run into some I had never heard of and some I thought where so out of date nobody used them anymore, for instance I had never heard of or even seen Incredimail, apparently tweens and old people like this one, and Im drawing a blank on the obsolete ones at the moment although Im fairly certain Netscape had one that is now Thunderbird.
For the last number of years Ive been using Thunderbird on both Windoze and Linux systems. I do not like Outlook, Outlook Express or Live Mail email clients they just dont "feel" right to me. The same "feeling" extends to Ubuntu's default email client Evolution, which in the past was a PITA to set up.
I like Thunderbird because I have three email accounts I use, and TB shows all three accounts individually within the client.
Outlook, Live Mail, and Evolution Clients have 1 inbox, 1 Outbox, 1 whateverbox no matter how many email addresses you have.
I only started this thread because we are getting more and more Linux users calling in, WIN!!!, and since Im the go to Linux guy now I installed Evolution on my netbook as the only email client. First thing I noticed is I get all my emails from all 3 addresses under 1 inbox, all 3 sent boxes are 1 box, and I do not like that!
Luckily for me Thunderbird is going to be the new default email client in future Ubuntu releases.

Email Client is defined as.
An application that runs on a personal computer or workstation and enables you to send, receive and organize e-mail. It's called a client because e-mail systems are based on a client-server architecture. Mail is sent from many clients to a central server, which re-routes the mail to its intended destination.
