Does anyone know of a good email client that downloads only the recent messages, say 50 or 100, and removes older messages without actually deleting anything from the pop3 server? This is for a secondary computer which I only use during travel and I don't want it to download hundreds of messages when I check email on it only once in awhile. Can windows vista mail or windows live mail do this? Thanks.
POP3 setup I've not seen a client that is that selective. However, your POP3 account may allow a limited ability to set a date range; Gmail does. Among other accounts I use Gmail which can be set to read/delete, read/archive, or read/leave in inbox. In addition, Gmail can, at any time, be set to read "from now on." (In Gmail, archive means move the read email from the inbox but not delete it). Using Outlook, I normally have Gmail set to read/archive all incoming mail. Since I receive a lot of email in different accounts, I do not always read them in a timely fashion, i.e., one or two accounts get a bit overloaded, shall we say. When I am going on a trip, especially business and, if I do not want to deal with emails stored on Gmail waiting for me to read, I reset Gmail to DL "from now on." All of the unread emails remain in the inbox but only those that arrived since I reset my preferences will be Dled (and archived). Then, when I am in the mood to wade through the rest, I reset the preferences to DL all. Monk
Hi there, I wanna know what kind of email clients you guys are running. I've tried Thunderbird, but it's not resource light for me. Any alternatives out there? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Ty
If you are using Windows7 then try Windows own email client or use Windows Live email client...they both are compatible with your system and easy on resources as well
Hi, I haven't had any problems with Mozilla Thunderbird. Just like Firefox, you can go to the Mozilla site and customize it the way you want.
Thanks y'all. I just decided to go with windows live mail. I have to say I'm impressed for now. It's light on the resource and easy to configure. My system of laptop is XP. I think I'll give it a try on the Windows7 of my Desktop. Regards, Tyler
Hi all, As there are so many Email software progs around now & windows comes with Windows mail also Office as outlook as we all use email or some sort of messaging service often daily I wonder which do user find the best I`ve list some things below that you might consider 1.Easy instal & setup of email accounts 2.Good Notifier of new mail 3.Option to block un-wanted mail 4.Easy to use 5.Can be used on most system devices iec,Tablet,Smartphone 6.Cost/Or Free If you install a email prog onto your system which do you prefer & why What are the good points & the Bad Say you have something like Incredimail & you like the Colorful Letters But you dislike its Un-install as it leaves files behind That just an example So share your experianes with email progs which you like & which you don`t Thanks
Well, I believe Outlook and Outlook.com are both acceptable. I installed outlook as part of my Office prog and use Outlook.com in my 2nd desktop. I now almost totally switched to web-page email system, outlook.com and gmail.com, nothing to install as most of the time the pcs are connected to the net.
Outlook is fine. I use it in my work. Otherwise you should also consider a "cloud" solution, like Google GMail.
I use Gmail, it goes with me on my phone and tablet. Literally anywhere I am at a pc with internet connection. it works for me. No install, no setup just login and go. Phone and tablet are both android devices btw.
After checking what is available, I have come down to two: Claws Mail, and Opera Mail. Is there any reason why to prefer one over the other? Are why to avoid one of them? Thanks, TM
