Email Service Poll

[kbluejayk]

I have occasional connection problems with Outlook Express and would be interested to hear which email service(s) is/are preferred by other Terbites - what problems have you encountered and what are the advantages/disadvantages of your preferred service?

You're not asking the right question. You've mixed up email clients with email services.

Are your connection problems with the Outlook Express email client itself or are they with your email service provider who can be your ISP?

NERVE EVER use your ISP for email.............What happens if you change ISP's??

 

[oleman]

yep, like papasmerf says, use yahoo or hotmail or gmail, then when you get mad and change isp's, you will still keep your email adress.

I get over 150 emails a day, not junk, emails that I have to reply to and give quotes etc. I can't imagine using web based email. Outlook is the way to go for serious email. For fun and games, I guess web based is OK.

I use both GMail and OUtlook 2007. You can use Outlook as a client at home, and use POP/SMTP access to your GMail (little note -= you have to set a rule in Outlook that any mail from you is sent to Sent items, because Gmail groups everything in the Inbox.)

Meanwhile, you still have access to all your emil web-based wherever you go. And using different coloured labels in Gmail's web-based service is pretty handy.

Not sure if Gmail, or any of the others, allows you to retain your existing email address, i.e if they can download from your principal carrier e.g. if Yahoo is my main service, but I prefer not to use them, I can use Outlook Express without changing my address - OE just downloads from Yahoo.
Do any of these other services do that? or does one have to change one's address to blank @gmail.com?
