gadean Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Thunderbird. Mmmmmm! Best mail client, in my opinion. :D edit: oops, forgot to read the first post.. I am such a dumbass. (I obviously use Windows.) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwanders Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I can't imagine any mail client being more effective than mail.app. It does everything you'd want a mail client to do. the junk mail filter is absolutely great. it works with your address book flawlessly. the whole deal about highlighting all mails with a given subject is awesome.... there's more but i've been drinking....so yeah....

Fusion Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 No new information here, just echoing everyone else's preference. I have used Mail since I switched to Mac and I could not think of anything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Mail, I love it :p Fast, simple, loads of options, and it is just nice :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 My mail server runs spam assassin so it can set the X-Spam headers mail.app uses to automagically move junk to the spam folder (this is in addition to bayesian filters it uses). Combine with the simple interface, options to ignore images/html/etc and the show full headers commands I think it's almost the perfect pop/imap client: I'm not sure I could go back to windows or linux unless there was an application almost identical. Even the "flag" for new messages on the dock icon is subtle but powerful. Mail > * (unless you need exchange connectivity - but I've never needed that).

NeoMasamune Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Mail.app, it rocks! Definitely the best on the mac! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalker Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Entourage, because it can connect to M$ Exchange servers, otherwise I would use Mail.app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss1 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I've switched form Entorage to Mail.app recently. It's much nicer :yes: ss1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Entourage, because it can connect to M$ Exchange servers, otherwise I would use Mail.app I'm forced to use Entourage as well. I would use Mail but my mail server is an Exchange server, and Mail's Exchange support...well, I won't go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.b Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I utilize Entourage... Why? No clue, I never ventured into mail.app... It only came naturally to configure my mail to be used with Entourage after I installed Office. I will need to check it out, after all the praise. I'm sure it's well worth it. (I do use email from a .mac--so it would work seamless with my current configurations, makes sense.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Mail.........smith Hmm...I've tried Mailsmith, but couldn't find any reason to use it over Mail. Could you enlighten me why you use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted January 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 18, 2004 (edited) ...So I gather mail is the default mail client (like OE on Windows?) on OS X? EDIT: Yes it is. Can you import files some way from Outlook Express into Mail? Edited January 18, 2004 by absolutemaxpayne.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
