Who cares.

 

I used TB about five yrs ago, damn thing crashed and I lost everything.

 

I wonder how many people bother to still use a stand-alone mail program. Work is one thing, but for personal accounts it seems like nearly everyone just uses a web interface now days.

 

I have at least three webmail accounts, and since Gmail makes you log out and log in to each, TB makes life much easier for me...

 

I see your point. I hate that too. I have two accounts but I just setup one to forward mail to the other so I don't have to keep checking both. Gmail tags the forwarded mail so you know which account its from.

 

I use Outlook as a unifying client for my personal e-mail, in part because it's what I use at work and I'm used to it.

 

Anyone else hoping it was a new flavor?

 

I tried Thuderbird for like 5 min but didn't like it. I use Windows Live Mail now Someone here recommended it to me... stunna i think

 

ONe nice feature of TB3 is that first it indexes your mail for fast searching, but when you search, you have the option of having your search results presented in a time line so that you can click right to the cluster of emails about a topic or to/from a person in a specific period of time.

 

Sucks, if I had a lot of email accounts I'd use this...

 

I use Outlook at home for personal use. But have web base accounts as well. Those are mostly for e-mails just above spam level.

 

Downloading....

Yup, I use Windows Live Mail but I've been using Outlook 2010 Beta lately and I like it! I'll try out Thunderbird tres

 

Windows Live Mail wave 4 should be coming out in beta some time early next year.

 

^Nice!

 

 

LOL! I was thinking this too... What do you expect from an Old Fart like me?

I like outlook/Live Mail better. Thunderbird doesn't use the 3 pane view by default and when you enable it it's not as good as the MS version. Plus it marked all of my 3000+ emails as unread. It just looks and feels dated to me.

 

Yeah? Well, YOU look and feel dated.

 

Whatever Jeffordolph!!! Don't you have a sleigh you should be guiding or something!?!? Them Chinese kids need their toys right about now and they ain't gonna get shit with you and your bright ass nose chattin it up on AZ...

 

They are getting lead chips, and they will eat it, I mean like it...

Hey, aren't you 1/64th Chinese? I have some lead chips here for you...

 

Well....I like the mail application/interface that my Mac has.

 

What is it?

 

Free local mail client from the same developers as FireFox.

New design is set up to be able to easily check and aggregate multiple web based email addresses.

 

ohh they got a new thunderbird wine? how awesome for you stogie..

 

Uninstalled...

 

whats the word? Thunderbird!

 

Did you try it and not like it?

 

Yep...

Outlook is much better.

 

 

I use both, but can't justify purchasing Outlook for a few Gmail addresses I check, along with my ISP address. Been using TB for years and it does a good job.

Bunch of haters...

 

Serisouly Stogie if you like Outlook but don't want to pay for it, you can get a similar experience from Windows Live Mail, try it out!

Is "Windows Live Mail" the same as the "Windows Mail" program on Vista OS computers?

 

It's its replacement. Due to anti-trust reasons MS doesn't include email, photo and video editing software with their OS anymore. It's offered as a standalone download in the Windows Live Essentials Pack. It has more features then the version that was included in Vista. They also did this so they could update these programs faster than once every 3 years like they do with OSes since they aren't tied to an OS release cycle. The current version "wave 3" came out this year and "wave 4" will be out next year.

 

One positive about this program is that it uninstalls VERY fast!!

It's got that going for it.....that's gotta count for somethin

 

I'll take a stand-alone program for my personal email over gmail, hotmail or whatever any day of the week. Been using it in that manner for the last 8 years.

 

I used to love outlook, but after having my mailbox files become corrupted after simply closing the program, I refuse to it at home. Unfortunately I'm forced to use it at work.

 

I fear change.

 

Well, that's sorta like Whiskers' testimonial for T-bird!

Thanks for the explanation re: Windows [Live] Mail-- I didn't see a discussion on the main MS website pages, which is understandable given the circumstances.
