November Poll

[Computer Hope Admin]

For the month of November we thought it would be interesting to see what users are using to send and receive e-mail. Feel free to make comments about why you think your e-mail program is better than any of the other programs listed or tell others why you use your program of choice.

In the past Computer Hope has used Microsoft Outlook as it's primary e-mail program however has recently moved over to Mozilla Thunderbird a great free e-mail solution that so far we've been very happy with.

All past monthly polls and results can be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

I use Outlook Express, I've never seen a need to change to anything else.

Nathan - this needs to be a multiple response mail.    I use variously:

• Thunderbird
• Outlook
• Yahoo webmail
• Gmail webmail
• Mail.com webmail
• ePrompter to check the latter 3

I never ever EVER use Outlook Express and I pity anyone who does.  ;D

I voted Outlook Express <hi, Rob, > but I also use Outlook and have one email account which is accessed only online.

Somehow, that marvelously objective and comprehensive assessment hasn't convinced me to stop using it.

Rob's official pity list:

• Fed
• soybean
• Zylstra555
• Dilbert

Why?  Firstly, the limited feature set and the brain-dead way OE handles multiple email accounts.  Secondly, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=outlook+express+vulnerabilities&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Most of the vularibilities are causes by the constent hackers of Microsoft protects since its more common.

So Thunderbird, Outlook or some sort of webmail is the best for beginners?
