What mail client do you use?

[GenMarshall]

Its quite ovious that everyone has an email account. I am curious on what mail client does the CFC community use the most. I have included in the poll the known clients on the internet.

*Note: This is if you go directly to your ISP's webpage and log into your account to view your mail.

I have 3 webmail accounts. And one rather useless school email account. I like webmail.

Just recently I installed Thunderbird. I enjoy it since I no longer have to log into Comcast.net to view my mail .

 

[Knight-Dragon]

I have quite a few emails... Use Outlook at the office (default office application). Web-based at home.

 

[Meleager]

I use outlook.

Why log in online when you can defer most email accounts to your home anyway?

 

[Grisu]

for private use I have thunderbird, sweet email-client.

at the office we're using Novell GroupWise, yuck

 

[AceChilla]

I just use hotmail. It works easy in combination with msn

At work, I use MS Outlook.

At home I use Kmail (as a subprogram of Kontact, the KDE answer to the Outlook suite).

What exactly is Squirrel Mail?

It is a webmail service. TF uses it for our civfanatics.net email addresses. I have KMail set up to retrieve my squirrel mail and display it with the rest of my mail.

I voted Eudora, as I use it for my isp email, but I've also got a hotmail addy.

I want to use Thunderbird but I am running into some problems.

Right after I set everything up after installation I am being asked this:

Enter your password for <my email goes here> on pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com

I've tried everything and I have no idea what password they mean, and so nothing works. Any ideas?

At home, I use Exchange web access. At school, I use either Mozilla mail (not Thunderbird), or Evolution, though I prefer Mozilla, because it allows messages to be left on the server but deleted from the server when deleted from the inbox. I haven't yet figured out how to do that with Evolution.

The Password is the password you use to log into your mail service. Normaly, Thunderbird prompts you to input your password once you connect.

Thanks for helping with this in the chat, CG.
Now Thunderbird works.

I usually use my webmail (GMail), but once in a while I'll also use Thunderbird. The only problem wiht thunderbird is that when I use it for my GMail account, it doesn't mark read e-mails as read in my Gmail account, nor does it delete the e-mails in GMail when I delete them in Thunderbird.

I use my school based email. They really are good about blocking spam and really good about storage. My hotmail account is a ghost of what it once was.

I use web-based services and the Pine program to access my university account...
