Okay... I saw it discussed, but never found what the answer was.

I, too, am looking for the best email program to use, for now and for
the future.... so I don't have to constantly change programs and
import/export email and filters, etc. and all that hassle that comes
with it.

I saw two good programs discussed, Powermail and Apple Mail.

I didn't see which was better. I heard both had problems, and Apple Mail
still had major bugs.

I wanted some help to know which is better (the NEWEST versions of
each), before I start the lengthy process of changing over.

I DON'T USE IMAP, or even know what it is.

I USE POP. And need the best POP Mail program.

My needs are extensive filters and actions, spam blocking, searching,
folder setup, and HTML rendering.

And obviously no major bugs.


I also wanted to plan for the future. I wanted to know, in your
opinions, what would be good for today - but also has the most potential
to be good for the future - through updates and revisions.

I want to try to switch over eMail programs only once for the next
couple years. I'd hate to switch over to one, and find the other one got
updated awesomely. It takes some predicting... but I wanted your
opinions.



TIA!!!!!!

I'd also suggest Thunderbird. When I first switched to the Mac
platform I immediately installed it to use for both POP and IMAP email
and have never used Apple Mail. It works perfectly for me, I've never
had any problems for years.

In my opinion, your two best options are Thunderbird and GMail.

I personally use Apple Mail, but I do not think it has the filtering or
spam capabilities you are looking for.

Ditto. Thunderbird is excellent. The files are also not
proprietary, so you don't have to worry about whether or not you
can crack open some evil file like a .PST down the road either.

Well, Certainly I donot like Apple Mail and never have. It not only
'had' bugs, it still _has_ some severe bugs in various ways - amo.
'multi attachments', 'big files attached' , 'multi addressing' etc...

I've only tested PowerMail and the older PowerMail Pro. They are both
breat programs, fast and real stable, but I also found that both
multi-addressing and attaching big files could be a problem - especially
if sent to Windows based recipients.

Seeing this list above, there is only one program that will suite all
these - or infact two, but number two is unfortunately now discontinued...

The best is the mail part of the new Mozilla 'SeaMonkey 1.0.5', It's
incredibly stable and very, very fast - even on OS X 10.3.x - also
faster than Thunderbird. I've been trying it out on a second machine,
and as soon as I get the time to upgrade this one here to 10.4.x and
install SeaMonkey, it'll replace my until now 'beloved' WaMCom X 1.3.1.

The absolute best stand-alone mail client is still NisusEmail X 1.6.1.
It works and works fast and stable even on OS X 10.4, though it
originally was made for use with 10.2.x. The filtering system is so
specialized that you even can filter out from the text body - not only
from date&time, subject, sender, mail addresses etc.etc..

To this comes that you even can use your prefered textprocessor to
handle the mails - both incoming and outgoing. E.g. if you prefer the
use of MSWord, you just set NE to handle your mails in Word, and when
you wanna make a mail, just make a 'header' with 'To', 'From',
Date&Time' and 'Subject' and to send, just use a key command or drag it
to the postbox on the desktop, - and it's sent... Unfortunately
NisusEmail has been discontinued, but you might write to Nisus Software
to get a demo to try it. www.nisus.com -> 'Contact Nisus'.

I still use NE X and NE Classic from time to time - simply because of
it's filtereing system.

Well, according to the above paragraphs, I'll surely recommend the use
of the SeaMonkey mail part. - The Mozilla org. themselves claim that
SeaMonkey is the future in new standard.:-) - OK, taken with a grain, -
but I will still say that SeaMonkey is the best ever made mailclient /
mail part in a combined browser+mail app of all times.

One thing more. SeaMonkey is 100% compatible with both common G3, G4, G5
and DualCore/IntelMac technology! - And if you're using multipaltform -
OS X + Windows + Linux you can also use and setup SeaMonkey 100%
identically on any of these platforms!

You can download it here:
http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/lid/815042/

If you can't get a demo of NisusEmail X from Nisus Software, you can
mail me off-list at <erikrichard_NOSP@M_stofanet.dk>, then I can send
you the demo. - just remove the '_NOSPM_ and my address is valid.

Cheers, Erik Richard
