Email client recommendations

[Heeter]

Outlook express is getting on my nerves,

I am willing to put 20$ or so on a new client, but I really would like freeware. Any ideas? Something that I could import my windows address book, and might even be configured to answer my hotmail accounts. Something antispam programs would not have trouble with.

Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird. Not sure about hotmail (never even tried, but there's 3rd party apps that do hotmail>pop3 anyway) but it has built in bayesian filtering to keep the spam down.

A wise choice

Wow it's free too!

Thanks a bunch. I wonder if it can open hotmail. I will fiddle around with it and see, I guess.

Not just free. open source
I've never tried to open hotmail with it before now (had no need) but if it doesn't support it, then there are always apps that convert hotmail (and yahoo! I believe) mail to be compatible with any pop3 mail client

So if I had the brainpower,

I would be able to add a highlight, right-click "Empty this folder into trash" option to any left screen side folder in this program. Hmmmmmm, I wish I knew what to look for to do that in the program folder. I will go see if I can do that.

Thunderbird doesn't support hotmail. Which isn't really surprising if you think about it. After all, Hotmail is a Microsoft service.

Hotmail Popper - www.boolean.ca
Use that to access your Hotmail account through Thunderbird.

I personally use Outlook 2003 since I make extensive use of the calendar feature. It uses Bayesian filtering to sort out spam as well.
But if I just needed a simple mail client, it would be Thunderbird without a doubt.

Thats outdated, slow, and very hard to use.
