This is my little corner in cyber space. I took up this web space with a friend to try out my ideas.
Eudora and Microsoft Outlook. When I was using a Mac, I used Eudora. It was my favorite then. But my corporate Email system is Microsoft Exchange. So I am using Microsoft Outlook now. I use both Office 2007 and 2003. Got to unlearn quite a bit to pick up what I'm doing all along. I don't know if you call that progress, but it's definitely learning.
For people who are used to Outlook, Eudora takes a little getting used to it. Eudora is going "open-source", so wait for the release in 2008. The beta is out but it is still rough on the edges. (update) I'm kind of cool towards Eudora now.
Popcorn. [8Jul05] I tried a small and simpler program, popcorn. Unfortunately, popcorn is no longer supported.
npop. [16Nov06] I was using npop as my alternative email client.
Opera.
[02May07] But nowadays, I'm using more and more of Opera. It does
not have the traditional folder concept but once I got the idea,
I kind of like it. It's powerful and flexible at the same time.
[08Mar08] My C drive is getting full and I don't know how to relocate
my mail folder for Opera so I stop using Opera.
[11Mar10] Manage to find a way to point to another location but I've
lost interest and move to ThunderBird.
Sylpheed.
I went back to Outlook,and pick up Sylpheed.
[20Apr08] Sylpheed has become the email client for my personal accounts.
Getting better at every iteration.
[11Mar10] I no longer use Sylpheed although I still like it.
The downside is that it uses the MH format to store emails and
there are few support for this. I now switch to ThunderBird.
