Dude WTF, do you know how many times I've asked people on here for help with Windows software and not once gotten that link?

My start was with Windows 95 back in 1999 when I got my first computer, but the last 5 years or more I've been only using Windows for certain things that require it. So when I have to use it for something other than DooM, I generally have to ask.

I'm STILL looking for an actually GOOD Windows Email client. I don't ever check email on Windows anymore. Too risky. The options out there for Windows are just terrible. I did like Outlook for a while, but, for some reason, it literally stopped working. My ISP changed their servers and now, the only things that work are the Unix clients. And not even the text based ones, the GUI ones only.

It sucks.

I did like Eudora too. I want to point out I really liked how Eudora did things, but that, is basically not supported right now, so I stopped using it. nd Outlook.... All I have is the Office XP one, which is outdated as crap now, and I can't buy Office....

I've heard that the new Outlook Express replacement "WinMail" is supposed to look very nice and actually work well, but I don't have a machine that would even run Vista, so that isn't plausible.

In a way I kind of wish Apple would port the Mac OS mail client that comes with Mac Os X to Windows. I'd use that for sure. It's well laid out, looks good, and from what I've read, does the job very well.

For now I've been using this:

On that OLD desktop with BSD, I use Sylpheed and Claws.

On THIS machine, I use Sylpheed again, and Thunderbird, but I don't really like Thunderbird that much. It's bulky....And mail clients should be MAIL clients.

I miss using Mutt. Comcast pisses me off sometimes. They have that "Our users are ALL morons" attitude now, so you can't use Mutt or Pine to do email anymore because they don't have built in SMTP like GUI clients do, and you have to use Sendmail or Postfix to send email with those.

Would be nicer if Comcast actually allowed you to take a test and if passed, unblocked your cable modem to allow traffic once you've shown you aren't a spammer and can't be infected by the crap they think you are when they see outgoing smtp traffic...Jerks.

I used Mutt for two years happily. Now I'm stuck with whatever has a GUI only, which doesn't allow me to check my email over SSH anymore.

Kmail shows promise, but KDE4.2 is so damned bulky it might as well be Vista too, so I can't run that very well, and Balsa started to lag too, so that was out, and what is left isn't much heh.
