    I use PocoMail. Lots of great features, but still very easy to use. After you get used to all the features it offers (security and usability), it's hard to go back. It's not free, but it's very much worth the price.

    Seams that i am only one in Wilders World who is using TheBat!.
    It's so far the only MUI that can handle my e-mail database of 350 MB - arround 120.000 e-mails - without problems, and manage well arround 200 (lots of mailing list ) emails arriving each day. Sorting, spam check. etc. The features are endless, but i think TB! is only for power emailer as there are very good freeware MUI out there like Thunderbird.

    Don't talk to me about OE and OE Express :)

    Not quite. I am using TheBat! I have tried many clients but this one seems to just do its job very well for me.

    POP Peeper [freeware] - simple, takes about 5 MB, I set it to check for Gmail every 5 min.

    Outlook 2003 (I use the calender and task manager and can sync it to my nokia phone).

    For pure mail I would choose thunderbird.

    I've migrated strictly to Thunderbird (having ditched M$ completely and using only Unix OSs now - I prefer Thunderbird over sylpheed/Kmail/evolution) ... I had used Pegasus and then moved to Courier in Windows - both are outstanding programs. :cool:

    I agree with dog [away in some far fetched land probably having fun].

    However, I would like to hear people's opinion on my method. Since USB flash drives are increasing in size and declining in price at such a rapid rate, I've given the U3 software platform a try. I actually like it. I use a version of Thunderbird specifically designed for U3 and so far it seems to work very well. The advantages are that I can take it with me virtually everywhere I go. I've found that it even works at school where users are not allowed to install software on client PCs because everything runs off of the USB flash drive.

    The only potential downside that I've seen is the size limitation. However, I current own a 1 gig drive and I see that it's possible to get a 4 gig drive for a reasonable amount of money. Not many people are likely to have more than 4 gig worth of email, although just as I say that I'm sure someone will chime in that has more.

    Even for those people, I saw that TigerDirect has a 64 gig USB drive, but I'm not sure if it is U3 compatible. Oh, it does cost over $7,000 US.

    You can view HTML Mail with TheBat!, but not the embedded files like images etc. Matter of security. Ritlabs will implement a feature to switch this on and off.

    AntiSpamServant is a good Shareware plugin which works basicly on the Bayesian method. There are better plugins (freeware) plugins out there.

    I used to use Pegasus, great program. Then for some reason, don't recall (must be a 70's thing) I switched to Outlook, now Outlook 2003. I use it w/ auto-preview. I feel that w/ OutPost FW Attachment Plug-in and NOD32's EMON & Qurb anti-spam, I'm relatively(sp?) safe. I also use Gmail & Yahoo for non-business mail.

    Have you ever looked into Mailwasher ? It' a simple but effective program.

    Using Barca Pro & The Bat Pro. :cool:
    Two email clients I really like, although TB offers lots of features, which I simply never use. :rolleyes:

    Have tried lots of email clients before finding the ones I really like working with. Free or paid didn't matter in my case.
    Finally ended my search after gotting rid of IncrediMail. :D

    You don't actually need U3 to run portable applications off USB flash drives. If you have a regular flash drive, you can just get it directly from the source at http://www.portableapps.com

    PocoMail here, too.
    But I have already thought of trying The Bat!
    @ Tommy or Eldar: Is there any way of migrating easily from PocoMail to The Bat!?
    I mean concerning message importing, without having all your PocoMail messages archived as eml files.
    Regards
    Rui
