I'm wondering what alternatives I have as e-mail programs. I want something simple, reliable, fast and easy to organise e-mails with. I would prefer something which does not process javascript and html nor should it open or at least have an option not to open attachments automatically.
I've tried and don't like for a number of reasons: Mozilla Mail, OE, The Bat, Pegasus, Eudora, Kauman e-mail and PC-Pine.
The Kaufman and Pine32 are among my favorites. Kaufman seems to crash for no apparent reason and hasn't been updated for a long time. Pine32 is too hard to configure and slow when receiving many e-mails. My ISPs SMTP server also needs authentication which I can't figure out how to do in Pine. I like the interface in it, however.
What other options do I really have? I've searched all over the place and can't find another program of my liking.
Personally, I prefer Pine in Linux, which is why I tried PC-Pine but I don't want to store everything in Linux Pine for the moment. Anyone have a suggestion? I'll try all the suggestions I'm given until I'm happy with a program.
