Email and Clients

Thanks for your appreciation guys. Please feel free to mention if you would like to have some steps illustrated more clearly.

 

Thanks, I never would have figured that one out. I also downloaded your tutorial, very nice. Thanks for making it.

 

Thanks Ravi. for the tutorial. Will study it when I have time, and maybe have more questions if that is ok with you.

 

You need to save it to your hard drive and then install it through thunderbird "addons"

As far as the rest sorry, i'm not sure. This is what i do.

Click reply. I have the quote set below my reply. Then i add my signature and hit enter a few times to give it some space and then begin my writing.

It then gets sent encrypted (their key) or with a single use comodo certificate and has to be retrieved from comodo's secure web reader service.

 

You are most welcome.

 

is skylive a free service

really great tutorials
but windows live skylive is a free service?

 

Re: is skylive a free service

Yes, 25 GB of free storage. You just need to have a Windows Live ID.

 

Ive been using eMClient for a few days. I like it alot. I think it has the slight edge over Thunderbird. One thing that irritates me is that in FF you use the middle mouse button to scroll down. In eMClient Id like to have the same thing for the main message window, but cant seem to find it or its not there.

 

do you mean w7?

do you mean/need w7?

 

Re: do you mean w7?

No - you need a hotmail or live account.

 

Re: do you mean w7?

The steps to get a Windows Live ID are present in the beginning of the tutorial.

 

I'm just wondering if you've stuck with eMClient or not?

 

Im still using it, but Ive found a few hiccups. If I leave it running to long it cant connect to my Gmail account. Why do you ask?

 

Thanks for answering. I ask because I'll be getting a new computer soon (a 64 bit) and I was looking at using eMClient or perhaps Thunderbird on the new system.

 

Ah. Its a very nice piece of software. It doesnt offer as much customizing as Thunderbird does, but its pretty quick with IMAP.

 

And the free version is limited to only 2 accounts.

 

True, but thats easily fixed. Forward all your mail accounts to a single account that offers IMAP access and use that account as your default in eMClient.

 

A friend of mine suggested this one which is apparently known in Linux world. They now have a windows version. http://www.dipconsultants.com/evolution/

 

It looks nice. Ive used it in Ubuntu. Ill have to give it a try on Windows and compare the two.

 

Mantra

I have been playin with DreamMail - http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/DreamMail-Review-60302.shtml in a VM with PGP Desktop and they work fine together.

Thought you would be interested to know that it has not only lots of stationary to select from but also "Templates". The default template was displaying 'Hi (display name)' and would finish with my email address and date and time. You can configure these templates to display whatever you want when clicking the "compose button".

Only negative is POP3 support only. No IMAP.

 

thanks seems cool!
thank you it's open source ,isn't it
i guess they will add the imap soon

 

I'm just learning about it myself so can't help you on many questions yet. I just remembered you were looking for a client with template features and DreamMail seemed to fit that bill. I think it's a Chinese program with english language support fairly recent but their main product page is still in chinese which is why i posted that other link.

 

Google Mail Checker Plus - I have recently found this extension for Chrome and it is all I ever wanted. I see, how many emails I have, I can mark them as - read, delete, spam or archive, I can also read them from menu and click on links inside them, openning attachments does not work though. Clicking on it will with no new emails will open webmail.

 

Use this for quick checking and reading of emails - http://www.poppeeper.com/ Works with all the web based accounts as well.

 

I used POP Peeper before as well as Windows Live Email, they are just too slow compared to my current favorite, 1 sec and 1 click to read - 1 sec and 1 click to delete.
