rgodart 0 Posted September 24, 2001 I'm looking for a good mail client. I'd like it to be able to do following things: 1) keep my mails from different pop3 addresses seperate (not like craplook express) 2) It should have a built-in possibility to backup e-mails easily Is there any program like that out there? Thanks Share this post Link to post
DoubleTap 0 Posted September 25, 2001 I have always liked Eudora. Currently using the latest version on XP. DT Share this post Link to post

Ekstreme 0 Posted September 25, 2001 I just use Outlook Express and have created message rules to save emails into a folder corresponding to a particular account. Wasn't difficult to do at all Eks Share this post Link to post
rgodart 0 Posted September 25, 2001 Thanks for the replies folks! I followed Ekstreme's advise. I didn't know about the message rules in outlook. i made a folder for each account now and each mail from an account is moved to the corresponding folder. Great function! Share this post Link to post
DoubleTap 0 Posted September 26, 2001 rgodart, I gave outlook a try and thought that the filters would be good enough. What I found was that even though you can filter incoming emails based on the incoming email address and placing them in the respective folders, outlook (last time I looked) does not have the ability to assign a Personality (account) to those filtered emails. So that when you reply, the email is setup to use that account's return address, etc... Eudora does. For example: I have a main account and about 4 alternative accounts that I also use. If an email comes in to one of the alternative accounts, I have filters set up to transfer the email to a folder and change the personality to suit that of the email address. So that when I reply to said email, the FROM: field is filled in correctly (uses the alternative account information and NOT the main account's) it works really well when you want to keep email accounts separate - I don't run the risk of replying to an alternative account email using my main account info. And you don't have to switch the FROM: field each time. Hope I didn't make that too confusing. Let me know and I can try to explain it better. DT Share this post Link to post
Ant -|- One 0 Posted September 26, 2001 In fact, it's just a comment: to switch the FROM field is no bother at all, just one or two clicks and that's it ! Quite simple I think. I use Eudora also, alternatively, and if it is more customizable, it is also more complicated to use. I think that Eudora's screen is a little to dense, on the contrary OE (5 or 6) is easier to navigate through. So, I repeat myself: to switch the FROM field is no pain at all in OE. That's all folks Ihad to say. Share this post Link to post
rgodart 0 Posted September 26, 2001 I agree with antoine. I'm keeping OE for now. Share this post Link to post
