Mail collectors

I used to use Incredimail but had a little trouble with it so changed to Mail.com.
This one work ok but is boring.
What e-mail do you use and why.
I am considering trying Incredimail again.

Re: Mail collectors

I use Thunderbird a free program from Mozilla (same people that provide Firefox).

For many years, from the days of DOS, I used one called Pegasus but a few years ago changed to Thunderbird.

The best thing about it is the add ons that are available. For example I use the Lightning Calendar which accesses the Google Calendar, I also have an add on for signatures and an another for bulk mail handling.


Incredimail is spamware, spyware and malware - avoid like the plague, terrible program

Re: Mail collectors

I use 2 but you would think them boring Hotmail and bt which is part of yahoo. I did use incredimail very briefly but it came with so much rubbish and some worrying stuff that seemed to be watching what I did I got rid of it quickly.

You can import CSV files to your Address book which makes it easier than one address at a time

It really is a piece of crap. Someone once used it to send me an email and I told them that if they ever sent me another email littered with crappy GIFS from that spyware-ridden pile of junk they'd be added to my delete filter.
