Introduce your friend to Mozilla's Thunderbird...

I've been running Thunderbird since v1.5 and I wished I never
bothered with it at all. After all of these years it is still
clumsy to use and slow as molasses. And they can never get it
right and keep releasing bug fixes like crazy. Just in the last
three years, they went from v3 to v17. That's just insane!
Maybe Mozilla might get it right around version 93.

The only thing it does right is to also work as a portable
application. That makes syncing between machines very easy. And
I thought it was slow on my 6 year old machines. But it is just
awful on my new Intel Atom Z670 slate tablets. Heck the editor
sometimes freezes for 30 to 45 seconds at a time on these
machines. Mozilla really needs to get some better programmers
that actually knows what they are doing. :-(

Well, if something doesn't work for Bill the Braggart, you know
it will work for everyone else. I've been using T-Bird and its
predecessors for years and it isn't slow at all.

You are also an admitted pirate,

A lie.

thief,

A lie.

cheat,

and have no respect for honesty and truth.

The irony!

So no surprise there.


What's no surprise is you can't configure T-Bird to work properly
and, well, you're a liar.

I am not sure why somebody like you wants so badly to prove they are
such a clueless dork, but ok. And any half-wit could quickly in 0.13 of
a second search under Google 'Thunderbird slow editor' and find over 2
million hits. Heck there is a program (called ThunderFix) to delete TB
index files because TB keeps corrupting them and causing TB to run
slowly. Of course, dorky Alias doesn't know any of this because Alias is
too lazy to spend 0.13 second of their life to be educated.

I have no need. My T-Bird installs are quite fast on XP, 7 and Linux.
You must have found more dorks like you who can't configure T-Bird
properly and it's not a big deal that Google takes such a short time to
show you its search results.


And if you look at Amplicate's hate Thunderbird website, you will find
49% hate Thunderbird. And the main reason is because it is too slow. And
if you check out Amplicate's love Thunderbird website, only 51% love it.
So I don't know why you are so out of touch with reality? Maybe you need
to leave your room once in awhile and take a walk outside. ;-)

Sorry, chum, you lied about me and don't even have the balls to
apologize or even mention it. You're a braggart and anyone with any
sense can use T-Bird without any problems.

I am sure I walk around outside much more than you do. I haven't owned a
car in over two decades.

He asked about OE and WM, as he, like so many others, doesn't want WLM.
I'm going to forward him your entire post. I haven't seen W-8 or whatever
email program it comes with so can't comment. I wish he would use Usenet,
but I don't want to confuse him even more.

Introduce your friend to Mozilla's Thunderbird. It's GUI will be
familiar to your friend. The biggest different your friend is likely to
encounter is defining accounts (where SMTP servers are defined
separately of the POP/IMAP account and you select which SMTP server to
use with which POP/IMAP account). Of course, the difference is only
encounted the number of times you have accounts to add into Thunderbird.
Once they're defined, it's unlikely you'll have to edit them later.

WLM is also similar to OE but you chose to omit that choice on behalf of
your friend although your friend might still like it (you did not say
your friend told you not to suggest WLM). WLM is not recommended for
Usenet posting due to Microsoft's dropping of proper indentation of
quoted content that the user is now expected to perform. You asked
about an e-mail client.

If you want to suggest to your friend a free equivalent of MS Outlook
(e-mail, better notes, calendar, task/todo list, contacts) then have
your friend look at EssentialPIM (EPIM). Show your friend the
screenshots at http://www.essentialpim.com/pc-version/screenshots. I
suspect there are different pane arrangements available if your friend
doesn't like the default. To compare the free versus paid versions, see
http://www.essentialpim.com/pc-version/pro-vs-free. For personal use,
your friend can start with the free version and decide later if he/she
wants to pay $40 which is much cheaper than buying standalone Outlook.

If I were to drop the Outlook that I already have (as part of the MS
Office suite), the free version of EPIM is a strong candidate for me.
Both EPIM and Tbird are free and I, as a user, am not interested that
one is closed versus open regarding source code. How many of your
non-developer friends do you know that download Tbird's source code
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...rce_Archives)?
EPIM includes calendaring. With Thunderbird, you have to install an
add-on (Lightning) or get a derivative of Tbird, like Sunbird. I have
not found a feature-by-feature comparison between the two to see which
one might have more features (and those that I want and would use, and
ignore the surplus).

EPIM is available as an installed or portable version with each version
shown on the same download page (http://www.essentialpim.com/get-epim).
Tbird has both types, too. For Tbird's portable version, you can go to
http://portableapps.com/apps/interne...rbird_portable or to
PortableApps.com. Some folks like to walk around with a USB flash drive
to run the portable version of their e-mail client from there so all
their e-mails are locally in one place no matter on which computer they
ran the e-mail program; however, with proper configuration of POP3
settings or by using IMAP, you can keep multiple installed copies of the
e-mail client in sync. A portable version works around computers where
you cannot install software or don't want to, like you don't want to
pollute your friend's laptop while sharing it on vacation. Just be
aware that many schools, Internet cafes, libraries, other publicly
accessible computers, or your friend's computer may have their USB ports
disabled. If they locked down their computer, you can't install
software on those computers and the USB ports are disabled or you're not
permitted to run programs from there.

Windows 8 includes an email app (not full or simple mapi client) called Windows Mail (not to be confused with Vista similar named
Windows Mail)

The Mail app in Win8 does not include a newsreader and only supports the following type of accounts
Hotmail type accounts (Hotmail, Live, Msn, Outlook.com)
Outlook 365
Exchange
Google
Yahoo
AOL
Exchange Active Sync
IMAP

***It does not support POP3***

It is capable of the MAILTO URL:MailTo Protocol
Is is not capable of the Send Mail (aka SENDTO) Send Mail command

The Win8 Mail app is more closely related to the Windows Phone email app than a full featured client.

I'm wondering what was the reason(s) behind that? My ISP has only POP3
mail, IMAP is not offered.

It creates no problem for me as I always use a 3rd party email
application (Pegasus Mail) and have since DOS 5 days but it just seems
odd that MSFT would shut out POP3 users?

Well Microsoft did shutout Start Button users, killed their newsgroup
servers, killed off many of their long product lines such as Flight
Simulator (which was older than Windows itself), and the list goes on
and on. So adding POP3 support to the already long list doesn't surprise
me very much.

But then again, Metro Apps are still in their infancy. And I haven't
seen any of them as full featured as Windows apps are yet. I remember
when Windows apps were new, they too were not very full featured as much
as DOS apps were back then. But after time, they were and surpassed DOS
apps. I would think the same will happen with Metro Apps as well.

Another thought is that POP3 I believe is slowly dying. And Microsoft
doesn't seem to like to support anything that is falling from grace.

If you have a Hotmail (or Outlook.com) account You can add POP3 accounts to
Mail. It's just not obvious how.

Hotmail Help provides the directions

Note: One subtle change that your referenced article and the above Hotmail Help article have yet to revise (The line item in each
'Sending/receiving email from other accounts' is incorrect due to a nomenclature revision made to the settings page. The correct
route as of a few days ago is to select 'Your email accounts' then choose the option for 'Add a send-and-receive account if you
are sending and receiving email from your POP account.'


Likewise one can use Google to 'pop' their 3rd party POP3 only account then setup the Google (Gmail) account in Win8's mail app.

There was a time when Microsoft wanted to get rid of their POP3 servers.
I believe that there was enough flack that they gave up for the time
being. It wouldn't surprise me to see it go away, much as the MS news
servers did.

Maybe Mozilla might get it right around version 93.

The only thing it does right is to also work as a portable

awful on my new Intel Atom Z670 slate tablets. Heck the editor
sometimes freezes for 30 to 45 seconds at a time on these
machines. Mozilla really needs to get some better programmers
that actually knows what they are doing. :-(

Well, if something doesn't work for Bill the Braggart, you know

What's no surprise is you can't configure T-Bird to work properly
and, well, you're a liar.

I am not sure why somebody like you wants so badly to prove they are
such a clueless dork, but ok. And any half-wit could quickly in 0.13 of

index files because TB keeps corrupting them and causing TB to run
slowly. Of course, dorky Alias doesn't know any of this because
Alias is

I have no need. My T-Bird installs are quite fast on XP, 7 and Linux.
You must have found more dorks like you who can't configure T-Bird

Translation: Billy boy has his tail betwixt his lying legs and knows
he's been shown up big time. You keep giving bad advice and I'll keep
pointing out that it is bad advice. Deal?

I've wondered about that too. But I don't know the answer, and I doubt
very much that Microsoft will ever tell us the reason.

I agree, but it's unfortunate because POP3 is all I have. There is
NO alternative in my area, I believe that Century Link, a DSL
service, offers POP3 only also.

Fortunately, Outlook 2007 still supports POP3, not sure about later
versions. All 3rd party email programs also support POP3 AFAIK....

....so...

could it be that MSFT recognzes that it's email programs, Windows
Mail/News, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail and
whatever is in Windows 8 (I've never even opened it!) are not very
good and they expect everyone to use something else? G
