What Email Client do You Use?

Posted by

There is such an abundance of email clients these days… both web-based, and desktop-based. It’s hard to know what one is the ‘best’, or which one will suit your needs and desires. How do you know what is right for you? I asked several people this question, and the answers were quite varied.

gmail – Sean Oliver

Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo mail – Brian Sullivan

Gmail at home and Outlook at work. I used to use Outlook Express at home but gave us and solely use Gmail now (best spam filtering features around). – Kol Tregaskes

gmail – Kevin Bondelli

The Bat!. It’s the only IMAP client that doesn’t lack features and doesn’t piss me off. – Akiva Moskovitz

Thunderbird at home and Squirrelmail when I’m on-the-go. I’m forced to use GroupWise at work, which I despise. – Rochelle

Mozilla Thunderbird, both at home AND at work. – Helen Sventitsky

The Bat? – ♣genieyclo♣

gmail (IMAP when on the iPhone) – Jamie

Oh, and for the record, I wake up every morning praying that someone would make a desktop IMAP client that does not make me want to kill myself. I’d do it myself but that is a crapload of work that I don’t really want to get into. – Akiva Moskovitz

Googlemail ( IMAP on the iPhone). Very rarely use outlook 2008. – Roberto Bonini

Gmail, Mobile too, and hoping to never use Outlook again – Majento

Gmail +WAP version on mobile and mail.app for the offline (ah and an old hotmail account) – Naor

Gmail: On the web, on Outlook, and wirelessly on my iPod Touch. – Mike L

Anything EXCEPT Microsoft Entourage. Seriously. I’ll telnet into the server on port 143 and manually enter commands if I have to to avoid using Entourage. – Glen Campbell

T-bird mostly, except for my work email. For that it’s Outlook. – steplow = Steve Lowe

Mail for office mail, Gmail+Google Apps for my personal stuff. – Niclas Strandh

i love it when people answer the geek question threads here in friendfeed. it’s like parallel universes. in the confession room people respond to the secret tweets, too, even though the original poster can’t see the answers. if i think about it too much my head hurts. – LauraBrarian

Gmail. Usually through Prism. Sometimes through Firefox or Thunderbird. – Tanath

Gmail, Outlook/Exchange and a Blackberry – Alex Scoble CISSP
