what is the best email client out there?

outlook 07
t-bird
or something else?

I despise all of Office 2K7. Personally I use Outlook 2K3 with no plans to change until they no longer offer support for it. I don't just use it for email. I use the calendar extensively to keep track of my day job, small business, hubby's business, kids schedules & church committee meetings. With all four of us going in different directions every day of the week I think I would loose my mind if I couldn't share the calendar from home - to cell phone - to work calendar!!

I use thunderbird, But only really because it's the default mail client on linux.
I used to use a nice mail client on windows but i cant remember the name.

KMail (Kontact)
2nd best, Evolution
of course, many will argue the reverse ;-)

I use thunderbird because of good spam protection and easy callendar integration.

My favorite email client is the PortableApps version of Thunderbird running on a memory-stick. This lets me switch between different machines and different OSs and still access the same emails.

T-Bird !!!!! easy to download and organize

does t-bird have a good "search" feature???
something as good as gmail or yahoo?

outlooks search feature sucks, its impossible to find old emails!

Now i'm using The BAT! It's a great tool!

the search feature on thuinderbird is pretty good. It displays the emails as you are typing what you want to search for.

I'm a Thunderbird user as well. It's always worked well for me and I've never really used another email client long enough to make an honest comparison.

I do like how you can extend T-Bird in the same way you can Firefox. Not as many extensions for it, but a few that I've added and liked.

I hate emails, but my mom uses outlook express, it looks pretty good.

I was an Outlook junkie for years, but I made the switch to Thunderbird about 6 months ago. I have been very impressed with its Junk Mail filters and I actually like the Contacts management.

I saw someone mention easy calendar integration with Thunderbird -- I would love to hear more about that. Although I will say that I am an avid user of Google Calendar.

Now that being said, I think that GMail remains the best email interface that I have ever seen... but I answered under the assumption that we were speaking about thick clients.

Have fun and eat chicken.

Used to use Thunderbird, but found gmail to be muh nicer, and using a desktop and laptop as much as eachother made a webbased the way to go.

I use outlook express

I use eudora - I am stuck in time....

eudorra is oke

Hi everyone. I use http://mailpicker.com to access to all my mail in one place.

I'm a big fan of Thunderbird. I forgot what made me shift from Outlook (I think I had problems sending out email) and Thunderbird handled it without problems.

My friends have a cool startup called NutshellMail that allows you to manage all your email from a single inbox. It's pretty cool, though it's more of a service and not a client.

Also, when I can (and in most cases, I do), I have Google Apps for my domain(s) set up. So I have a bunch of tabs open with my different "Gmail" accounts. Honestly, I don't use an email "client" anymore unless you count my browser as a client.

I don't think I ever used Outlook. I just went straight to Thunderbird. I have it pull in all my email accounts including Gmail. I know it's not the Google way, but I like being able to organize my email with folders and I like not having to sign into Google.

I have an old Yahoo email account which I can't pull in to Thunderbird, which is why I don't check it all that often anymore.
