    Hey

    I currently have a normal outlook email from my ISP or Microsoft not sure.

    But anyway, looking to spice it up a bit with security and also looks and stuff you can do.

    I have tried incredimail, but not sure seemed a bit heavy for me and probably held down my memory, but that could be just me.

    What are you guys using?

    Thanks

    Did you try searching in google??

    Anyway, here >> http://email.about.com/od/windowsemailclients/tp/free_email_prog.htm

    See if anything would fit you.. also I personally think it depends on the end user.. so try out couple of different things and decide for yourself about which one u'd like better...

    As for me, I have been using thunderbird at work and webmail services from my workplace and other stuff like gmail at home and out... and its all been fine, particularly thunderbird.

    First of all, you need to decide whether you want an email client or a webmail interface.

    I used Thunderbird for years but switched to Outlook last year to get full compatibility with my PPC (Contacts, Tasks, Calendar, eMail) without having to install extras.

    I was thinking that thunderbird.

    I am only using it for maybe e-mailing files and general use, nothing technical.

    Thanks

    I like Thunderbird, good for us who don't want to blow $70 on Outlook.

    Thunderbird is good. And you can get Contacts, Tasks, and Calendaring via ancillary products. For plain old eMail, Thunderbird is hard to beat.
