Desktop E-mail client ?

I continue to be surprised when people engage in 'mind reading' on usenet.

I have a hard enough time with mind reading or telepathy or mind melds
in a face-to-face or 'contact' environment, I don't believe it can be
done with sufficient 'accuracy' or veracity across the cybersphere.

I DO believe that LOTS of people THINK they can do it accurately; but I
also believe they are mistaken a great deal of the time.

T'bird isn't a resident e-mail client. It fetches e-mail from

Yes - that's what an email client _does_. (Well, it handles both
directions - both fetching emails and sending them.)

Thunderbird is (if you enable both functions) both an email client and a
news (usenet) client. You are currently using its news function (via
aioe, I think). You could use it to fetch your aol emails, and send
them. One of the posts in this thread included two links to how to set
it up to work with aol's servers.

If it avoids confusion, forget the word "client": just think "program".
(Or, these days, "app" if you must.)

accounts one names or, for a price, will let you sign up to the client
"Gandhi" (spelling?).
Do you know anyone with a Thunderbird e-mail address?

No; someone in this thread said those are something to do with an
artificial-estate dealer somewhere, so not really relevant to what we're
discussing here.

Does this have a meaning? I failed to get it .

Outlook Express is free. If you were asked for a donation then you
weren't downloading it from MS, you were being scammed.

If you're using Thunderbird as your newsreader, why haven't you
configured it to be your email client?

I don't think you're talking about me. :-)

ITYM "complimenting", though it may be both.

I meant "compliment", my mistake.

http://blog.dictionary.com/compliment-vs-complement/

Which is why spell check didn't rescue me.

But then again, English isn't my native language. In Belgium we have
three official languages: Dutch, French and German. I'm Flemish, so
Dutch/Flemish is my native language. I can keep a conversation in
French, but my German is not that good (only two years in highschool).
My English is not that bad, even if I say so myself, but every now and
again, I make a mistake. I don't mind; I like to learn. If you want we
can always switch to another language. How is your Dutch? ;-)

That was me. It is a real estate company selling expensive homes in the
Santa Cruz, California area. Nothing to do with email clients.

I know an 80-year-old couple who have been using AOL addresses since that
company's beginning over twenty years ago. They too are not knowledgeable
about computers. Ask Eternal-September about AOL. :-)

It's a talent, I suppose. See how he's got the whole thread turned
around to be about him, not about "Desktop E-mail clients"? And there's
no end in sight. It takes special skills to do that.

It comes from their "Live" marketing gimmick.
They bought live.com and set it up, along with
a number of other "live"-themed items (including
live.com email addresses), as a theme for online
services. That failed, as usual. Now it's the Windows
store (or is it marketplace?) which is packaging
online services as apps.

Live is at least more appealing than their former
attempt at selling useless services: hailstorm

(I'm not kidding. That's what they called it. I think
the hail was supposed to suggest a large number,
like "a showering of good stuff". But it's hard to
imagine how the marketing people, sitting around a
conference table, ever managed to say, "Hailstorm...
I like that... It sounds appealing." Maybe they've
just never seen hail in Redmond.)

LOL

It's installed on your computer.

It fetches mail from accounts one names.

Yes, that's what clients do...fetch and send. Thunderbird is your resident
email client.

Do you know anyone with an " address?

If there were an ISP named "Thunderbird" and if someone using that ISP sent
an email to any of your accounts, your client (Thunderbird) or ANY client
would fetch it.

Here is one place (bottom of page)...

but it won't work on win7 unless you follow the instructions on the page.

Here is one that works without you having to do anything. I am using it to

Finally, there are several 3rd party programs which are very similar to OE.
