    I have to use it at work. Thankfully our IT nerds push the classic

    is the search.

    Now in my defense, I haven't found an email client I like in 40 years
    of looking for one. LOL

    ... If you're feeling good, don't worry.You'll get over it.

    My OG favorite was Eudora. Now I use Thunderbird almost exclusively.

    Back in the day I would use Pegasus Mail. It still works to the day.I
    use the Windows version for certain things. After that came Outlook
    Express and now I use Outlook. I guess it's what you know and what'
    you're used to.

    One worth looking at is Claws Mail. This is what I use for Usenet
    newsgroups but it's also works with imap/pop3 and has a lot of plugins
    for various things.

    I migrated my company from a Mac-based email system to a single UNIX
    box running Qpopper with a company license for Eudora. We needed 4
    boxes for the Mac mail system, UNIX running on one desktop box did the
    trick. We figured out how to share a company directory, signatures and
    more - very cool.

    I remember the sound of the Eudora email chime going off when someone
    sent a message to "all".

    That brings back memories. ;)

    I eventually got settled on sylpheed, which eventually morphed into claws.

    I use Eudora. It has its weaknesses (including that it makes messages more likely to be marked as spam), and I have to use stunnel in order to have actual basic security, but I like the whole, "everything is a text file" aspect.

    (And, to be fair, I don't open it that often, as I just look at my e-mail through a web interface, most of the time.)
