Need mail client!

[az]

I have used Outlook express in the past, since I found it easy to use, but have stopped using it because of security issues and because I never managed to back up all my mails & preferences to carry them over to a new windows installation (not just a reinstallation, but a format + install).

I tried Eudora, but don't like the user interface at all.

Outlook just has way too much stuff I don't need, making it complicated, and 2000 kept crashing on me.

So, I need a new mail client. Preferably one with the following features:

- Free
- Secure
- Can handle multiple mail addresses
- easy to carry mails etc. over to a new installation

Other fancy features might be nice, but not neccessary (filtering, deleting mail on the server, etc.)

Any suggestions?

Oh, I'm using Win98SE.

Hi,

you could try

- Amicron MailOfficeAmicron Mailoffice . They have a freewareversion too.

- Pegasus Mail

- look at Tucows for a list of mail clients (already sorted with freeware first)

I used to us Mail Warrior from these people, http://www.kaufmansoft.com/Index.htm, quite nice, free and very small

<a href="http://www.emailman.com/guide/pine.gif">PINE</a> and <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/labels/images/Label1.gif">Mozilla Mail</a> meet all your requirements.

Added: MailWarrior looks nice. How good is the filtering? And you say you "used to use it" -- what do you use now?

You didn't like the look of Turnpike then?

az - If I look at your feature wish list, Pegasus Mail V4.02 is the perfect candidate for you !

I am storing my mails since 1997 and I always keep a 1000 to 1500 of them in my folders. Changed the system several times since then, never lost a single mail. No hiccups, no crashes. If you like the style of it you`re getting addicted soon ...
