Hi Carol
It can be customised to suit how you want to use it. If you like tabs
you can use those. Personally I don't, so have all mails opening in the
same window as Outlook Express used to do.
You can set up folders to store messages and either move them manually,
very easily, or set up mail rules to have mails go into your chosen
folder automatically on arrival. This works well if you are subscribed
to several groups, for example, so each group can have its own folder
and leave your main inbox clear for other stuff.
It has the ability to automatically archive your emails in the way you
want them, by month/year, just year and so on. Very useful if you want
to keep certain emails but don't want them cluttering up your inbox or
other folders.
You can use multiple email accounts and have them all come into one
global inbox, or a separate inbox per account, whichever is your
preference. Switching between accounts for sending is easy.
Automatic junk filtering can be set according to preference.
I could go on but this is only a very small list of features. Others can
be added using add-ons which you can download. One I use regularly
enables me to attach a previously received email and send it on as an
attachment rather than just forwarding it in the main body of the email.
This is particularly useful if it already contains an attachment as that
will be included when sent. You can send several emails attached this
way, which saves having to forward each one separately.
Hope this helps to give you some idea. I did have a bit of a learning
curve to master it initially after being happy with Outlook Express, but
now I am more than happy with it.
Regards, CJ

Hi Janet,
Thunderbird works fine for me and suits me with its many features.

Hi Carol, other than Outlook, I use Windows Live Mail.
Because I found it to be the closest to Outlook Express.

Hi all,
This is a simple enough question and I'd be interested in
your comments.
Please bear in mind that I am using the IMAP settings of
my current (old, known, loved and now almost hated) email
programme. Please also note that I am not interested in
Outlook since I didn't get on with this at any time of
trying. Thanks for any comments.
Carol P
