Which email program do you like?

We liked Netscape 4.7 Messenger but it may have caused some system problems.

I got Eudora yesterday but it seems to lack a couple of features. For example it won't import our address book from Netscape, and lacks the convenient "Add sender to Address book" feature. Also I don't see that it will auto-complete a partially typed address.

I've had 'system problems' with Netscape Messenger as well, namely periodic, unrecoverable, OS crashes. I was using some ancient version of Win95 and updated to Win98 (staying with my 'trailing edge' technology philosphy; hey my PC is a 133MHz Pentium, how fast does it need to be to read email?) and the OS upgrade cured most of the problems. In the interim I never found anything I really liked as much, Eudora included. I also would be interested if somebody knows of a client that works really well.

I'm on Lotus Notes here at work, with it's integrated mail tool. Not nuts about that either... but no choice.

I see that Opera does email too. Will try it today.

EB, I use AOL for a primary email service. I also have an email address for Yahoo, MSN (hotmail), and Nestscape. I use Netscape 6 and don't have problem. Netscape is a"sister" server to AOL. I have no problems with any of them except, Outlook Express. I uninstalled Outlook Express. OE seems to be the carrier to 90% of all the viruses. Update your Netscape Browser and try it again.

Update your Netscape Browser and try it again.

"They" say that the newer Netscapes are worse than my old 4.7.
Opera email seems nice but I can't see how import my Address Book from Netscape Messenger.

I want to put in my 2 cents worth for Pegasus mail. The feature I like best about it is that I can disable the execution of web pages and programs. This way there is very little chance of infection by most of the known viruses.

I like Microsoft Outlook best (not Outlook Express, which is a very different program).

msn.com says I can get Outlook for $109. For now I am looking for something about $109 cheaper than that.

I use Microsoft Outlook not Outlook Express. It is included in the 'office' package. Worth every penny.

Hey Earnest, and everyone else. I use stock
Outlook Express. I've never had a problem.
I run Windows ME and also Norton Anti Virus and Sygate Firewall.

Am I missing something here, that maybe I should know about? Please advise, if the case.

I've used Outlook for years and like it.
(Now at Outlook 2000)

Just be sure you have a good Anti-Virus program because it's often a target of viri.

You need a good AV Pgrm anyway.
