email alternative

[ANT63]

I was unaware that there was so many alternatives to Outlook Express. The solution is to try a couple of programs and then decide which one will work best for me. (Pegasus Mail - Eudora ) I appreciate and thank everyone for their help.

One trick that you might want to use in the meantime if you're worried about saving mail between applications. Set all the new applications you try out, Eudora, Pegasus, etc, to "LEAVE MAIL ON SERVER". And continue checking your mail every so often in your original mail program. This way, downloaded mail won't be stuck in Pegasus mail should you choose not to use it, but it will still be available to the other apps.

(just don't do that for long without eventually deleting the mail from one of the apps or your account will fill up)

Enjoy!

I've been using Calypso lately. I used to use Outlook but I think I am hooked on the newer program
