Any good alternative to Thunderbird?

I like Eudora, but only the paid version is worth it, and I can't afford it. Thunderbird is a fine application, but uses too much memory and slows me down too much, so are there any other free alternatives?

 

I use Opera, best and most reliable even with huge mailbox, as your icon, suggest you check it out.

 

I use Columba. Works great

My client of choice is Pegasus - http://www.pmail.com/

 

Hi Slovak,

You like Eudora, I don't and I have to use the sponsored version daily at work.
If you're searching for something free, do have a look at Courier, which can be registered for free for a limited time.
Courier 4 will be released, if they find another programmer.
Got it installed here too, but registered it in the past (paid).

Using another paid email client however, see my sig.

Hope you'll find what you're looking for.

 

I never tried this one, but I will take a look...

Did you know if it have the new incoming feature of Thunderbird to let scan emails, through SSL connection, for virus?

 

I'm going to give courier a try, I also use Pegasus on occasion, but one needs to be a Dr. of spam to set up the filtering on Pegasus, other than that it is great.

 

Pegasus doesn't have import mail of other email clients...

I will stay with Thunderbird for now...

 

Courier is a no go, spamihilator does not work with it.

 

Spamihilator does work with Courier, I just tried it.

In case port 110 is taken by another program, change it in Spamihilator Settings > General Settings > Connection and use the same port in Courier.

 

I get errors saying this....Failed to get mail from account: 'pop.xxxxxx&slovak1965@sbcglobal.net@127.0.0.1'
Mail server responded: ' -ERR maildrop unavailable.'
12/10/2005 7:30 PM: No new mail.** Error, see previous Details **

Any ideas?

 

First off I removed the above link.

Did you use the following configuration in Courier?

ex. POP3 account
Incoming Server: my.isp.com
Username: username

account to use in Courier with Spamihilator
Incoming Server: localhost
Username: my.isp.com&username

That should work or else have a look here or try it at their forum.

 

Here's the correct link, instead of the link to my C: drive.

 

it works now, thanks

 

Great.

 

Courier seems to fair well with me, might just be my new permanent email application, thanks.

 

My pleasure Slovak.
Good to hear it's going well.
Have fun with it.
