Free -e-mail client(s) ?
Off-topic---I know ---
Since AOL was created, we have used AOL as our e-mail service (it has always been free) Now a new owner is making it into a monthly pay-for-service busine ss. So, it's time for me to go! I'd like to remain a cheap-skate. So what is/are a/some free e-mail client/s ? Thanks. |

no she wrote client. ANY Commy Yahoo Aol Google is just a server.
Besides, if you understand what those communist have everyone doing of, you would listen to what he said about evil microsoft. No such thing as spam, and free, is everywhere even in clients also. I would only use the old eudora client myself. It does not put your name on the email headers as all others do, including aol. Control your email header, or, anyone can find you. In using a online server for email, is a big mistake. Most of it is running on microsoft. And in a rip off internet world of hackers, its only wise to do what you can while you are being cheap and controlled of. No such thing as spam. That's only meat in a can. Just look at how many factories closed since they made that bogus law spam. 150,000 in the United States. It would be ever so dam foolish, and dumb, to think, its not a big part of the problem. The FCC is communist. Same as the UN and the EU.... Its not written that way in my US constitution. And its been disobeyed of now for many many years by the now American communists. $$$ is why.

There's also Sylpheed and Fossamail. Best if you use a client to download the mail so you can back it up. Three of my webmail accounts simply disappeared and I lost everything in them. Didn't use them for anything important though... no big loss. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |

So what is/are a/some | free e-mail client/s ? I also don't get whether you want a service or software. It sounds like you mean a service. Free generally means adware/spyware. If you don't mind that then what does it matter? GMail. Yahoo Outlook.com. Any crap webmail will serve. If you do mind, I have a techie neice who likes hushmail for privacy. I think it's free, but not certain. I've never tried it myself. Most services, though, require another email address in order to get an address. They don't like anonymity. And no-strings freebies are disappearing. I used to keep a junk mail address at inbox.com. They wrote last Fall to tell me they were dropping free accounts. What about your ISP? Nearly all provide free email. We get 4 from RCN. You can also get your own domain and set up email to your heart's content. But not completely free, of course. Finally, a search will easily turn up lists of things like "top 10 free email providers". If you have a current address to give them you should be OK with most. If you don't mind not having POP3 service you'll have a bigger selection to choose from. |

If you don't mind not having POP3 service you'll have a bigger selection to choose from. I started to use GMX.co.uk/.com (depending on where you are) when I was moving away from TalkTalk to DirectSave Telecom - some wrestling with forwarding form the existing addresses to GMX. Also, as POP3 it sends me everything multiple times, but it works. I then discovered that DST uses TT's system - should have realised earlier as it@s unbundeled and my exchange has only TT anyway - so the old addresses still work. -- Peter.

They are making it easy if you read the brochure, not sure if it will be. But they are moving all mail, calendar, folders, and contacts for you. |

I've never heard of a buyout where customers' email addresses didn't get grandfathered in. In the case of AOL it seems even worse. Verizon is not well liked, but at least they're a normal company. AOL is famous for being the company for people who never learned how to use their computer. |

I recall a thread from several months ago initiated by the same OP and which dealt with email. He never seemed to understand the differences between email servers, ISPs and email clients. |

But if it's unclear at all, I mean the software that's on my desk and the service I get to use it. |
