Which is the best e-mail client

I am still experiencing problems with Microsoft Outlook and would like recommendations on the best e-mail client to use.

The answer partly depends on whether you want your email to be internet based or computer based. For me, I want to be able to access my email easily from any computer anywhere, so I choose an email client that's internet based. Currently, I have Yahoo Mail (along with Yahoo Messenger), Windows Live (formerly Hotmail or MSN) with Windows Live Messenger, and Gmail. I find Yahoo Mail to be superior to the other three, because it gives so many more customization options as far as the ability to personalize almost every feature. I have recently upgraded to Yahoo Mail Plus, which for a small annual fee, gives me a ton of storage and the ability to send and receive very large files. Yahoo Mail admittedly does have its quirks, but all in all, I prefer it to the others.

Since you are asking for a client, the most popular non-Outlook ones, which happen to be free are Windows Live Mail for Win7, Windows Mail for Vista, Outlook Express for XP, and Thunderbird for any of them.

I understand, Jack. I also had enough problems with Outlook that I stopped using it. I tried Thunderbird but I switched to TrulyMail about nine months ago and I really like it. It's free and they have a portable version so you can take it with you wherever you go... without leaving emails on the server (I prefer not leave my emails under someone else's control).

Hi, jackdash! :)

I've been using Outlook ever since it was released. I love it. It really is the best and most customizable email client if one understands all of the options.

As WartHog mentioned:

Jack, if ya don't mind, what kind of problems are you having with Outlook?

We're here to help.

My problem with Outlook is, on a couple of forums I use on a daily basis I am marking threads for replies and not receiving them.
This is since I changed to Windows 7 and Outlook.

Now I am now using Gmail and the replies are flying in.
So I do not know if outlook was my problem or maybe my ISP.
