Looking at - http://www.webattack.com/freeware/comm/fwemclients.shtml

We see that the "highest rated" are -
  • IncrediMail > I did not like as it "stamps" e-mail with it's ads and it is heavy on resources
  • Pegasus Mail > Have heard good things about this program
  • Ultrafunk Popcorn > Looks pretty good
  • Eudora > you already know
  • Foxmail > Don't know anything about this

Eudora is not really free as anything that displays ads cannot be considered free. Pegasus is pretty good.

This is the reason why I like the http://pricelessware.org stance on this -

quote:

DEFINITION
The Pricelessware List reflects the programs favored by members of the newsgroup alt.comp.freeware ; it is not an exhaustive list of the best available Freeware. Most of the listings are well-known programs, but there are some hard-to-find goodies to be discovered. Although most categories will list only 1 or 2 selections, a few will list 3-4 programs.

There are NO Adware/Spyware programs included in the Pricelessware List. Please read news:alt.comp.freeware 's position on Adware in the following FAQ links:

http://clients.net2000.com.au/~johnf/faq.html#11
http://www.ccountry.net/~jcorliss/F.A.Q./Page3.html

I do like http://www.webattack.com to see what the ratings are in comparison too..

Thanks!

Kent

Rad,

You are right.. However, http://www.openoffice.org is really the free one whree there are some costs involved with Sun's implementation.

5.1 is shit!
that much I know [Big Grin]

does not work properly and takes too much resources and crashes and takes too much for granted and is too different and...

think pegasus is the way...
actually, checked from tucows:
http://www.tucows.com/mail95_default.html

if you look at the freeware...
there is only outlook express that can compete with pegasus in rating.

oh dear,
Pegasus is nice, Pegasus has an unusual but not too fancy User Interface but it lacks of a major feature I'd like to see : Import of OE mail folders [Frown]

So much for Pegasus on with the next ...

Btw. Star Office ? I have enough trouble to fight MSOffice [Mad]

Just so much after installing it and importing my OE Folders :

[Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] !!!

and it has even Multiple Users support ...

Think I have my winner [Big Grin]

{Deeper testing necessary though}

Cool.. Glad to hear it. I started to look at it with Outlook (not OE) and it imports the contacts from Outlook on a POP installation. Now, to export the message store, but Foxmail seems pretty OE-Centric. So, to export to OE and then to Foxmail.

The other thing I would wish for and it has part of it is the abity to connect to IMAP Accounts. Sure, you can go to Hotmail, but what about others like Myrealbox?

I will see if it has been posed as a question on their Forum.

I thought there was a Forum on the Foxmail site. The other thing is that when you use Word as your e-mail editor, it adds a button to send which is pretty neat. However, when you uinstall the software, it still keeps it.

Hmmm..
