How do you people manage to use email clients that are not PINE

My goodness I love PINE.

Actually, I just wanted to know what email clients (for windows) most of you people use. I think I have tried them all and I always go right back to PINE. And don't give me that crap about mutt being better. There is no windows version available. And don't give me that cygwin crap.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EMAIL CLIENT?

I tend to just go with Outlook for work and Outlook Express for home... I also do not get real fancy at home.. I just want to read my e-mail.. and at work I'm on an exchange server so I really do not have a choice, but I actually think Outlook is a very good client for a work environment because of the calendar features, etc..

I used to use Agent as well. I still use it for usenet but I've discovered how convenient using web based e-mail is with earthlink so now I use this. It's there no matter what computer I use.

Do you run Linux or something? Or is a dos based PINE version available? I use outlook myself due to the fact that it runs seamlessly with Windows XP.

Psst. Philliesfan980:

Personally, I use Lotus Notes at work.. Corporate email systems, yay.

I use elm on most my non-work email with yahoo email being a close second. Yes, I have linux accounts, but i've also used pine and elm on sun, freebsd, etc.

all the best,

Whatever client is built into Mozilla. And before that, whatever was built into Netscape.

i still have all my e-mail on a unix server at ga tech, years after dropping out, and won't use anything but pine/mutt there.

I have no idea what I'll do when that account inevitably disappears.

I've never found anything that could replace PINE. Especially after I replaced PICO with vim as the default editor. Mmmmmmm.

As long as my company is paying for my laptop, I'll be using Outlook, since that's what's on it.

vim...Now that is something I can get Geeky about! I am not much of an email geek. Just whatever works for me. Since Outlook is always installed on my machines...I use Outlook cause it is easy. I use vi(m) cause it is SO much more powerful than the PC GUI editors out there, well at least in an IDE

I've used Pegasus Mail for, wow, like 10 years now. its robust, can work with any mail server setup and isn't susceptible to mail virus'.

Its completely configurable from top to bottom and looks a helluva lot better than PINE ever did. It delivers performance and all the perks that email can offer without stressing the Operating system or looking like a geeksville on my screen.

Actually its very easy, because you have the option of the single character spacing or any other font/layout you want. You don't have to thumb through a 200 item long list of on/off options and you can find any given option easily through either the tabulated groupings or the search system.

Its just easier to do everything than PINE ever offered.


and you can never give it enough credit for taking away the stigma of dork-dom that PINE itself gives you

I use Outlook now.

I hated Pine in college and was glad that we had Simeon in law school.

Yahoo web mail. I have email addresses attached to my ISP, but I never use them. Plus, with web mail, I'm pretty much immune to virus attack on my PC since I don't use Outlook to read mail.

Yeah, it's really nice for multiple accounts and it's a hell of a lot more secure than LookOut. I mean, who the hell writes virii for something that has like 2% market share. Then again, unlike LookOut, it doesn't come with a virus scripting language included.
