How do you check your email?

[swarfega]

1. Do you use an installed client such as Windows Live Mail or Outlook etc,
2. Do you use a web based system such as Gmail or Hotmail.

Actually both. 99% of the time installed, but sometimes I check with a web mail to make sure all my domains mail is being fowarded.

Thunderbird when I'm at home on my desktop - about 90% of the time. Otherwise, I use a web-based interface provided by the ISP.

I just check it on hotmail.com and gmail.com, so no client installed here

The best of both worlds

i used to use outlook until it started to succumb to middle age bloat, and failed to display my received html mail properly. when i have the time, i may check out the new version.

i use live mail to check my various accounts, it doesn't do a bad job and it's free.

Outlook keeps tabs on my Verizon and BlueHost accounts. File is on the data drive so I can use it regardless where I'm booted from.

I use Outlook to check my Gmail IMAP account.

Same here.

I check my gmail account from Mozilla Thunderbird.

 

[Joan Archer]

I use Mailwasher Pro to check then bring it all into Windows Live Mail, that includes my Hotmail and Gmail accounts as well as others.

Outlook 2007 here.

Ive been a hotmail.com guy since childhood. I just use it to read or send email.

Whats the benefit of using something other than the standard they give?

what options am I missing out on?

 

[mickey megabyte]

well, i use windows live mail as it lets me check all my mail (multiple email accounts for multiple internet personalities ) at the same time, with one doubleclick. otherwise i would have to look at four or five different webpages to check all my mail.

the software also stores my mail locally offline, so i can read already downloaded mail and contact information if my internet dies (which is rare).

plus you can look at news and rss feeds.

i generally leave it running all the time, and have it auto-checking every 10 minutes for new mail. when new mail arrives, i have a sound play, and an icon appear in my taskbar.
