K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
What would you guys recommend for an email program to use in conjunction with K-meleon. Normally people either use Netscape communicator, and Microsoft IE and outlook. With all the security problems with microsofts software, what would you guys recommend as an alternative to outlook. thanks...
Eudora
Popcorn
Free download from WWW.nonags.com
I think Kaufman Mail Warrior is by far the best. It's free, small and quite firm as it basically does not support html, javascript or any other fancy stuff. However, I use it all the time and it satisfies all my needs. I have also tried Peagsus, Eudora, Bat, Scribe and a lot of other programs: they all had their shortcomings.
BTW, use KMW version 3.57, if you can get it from somewhere (version 3.61 has been unstable if the pop3 server is down - 3.57 works excellently).
The developer's address is
http://www.kaufmansoft.com/Index.htm
I have tried all of the e-mail programs mentioned here too and haven't found that I want to use. I would like to use K-Meleon as my main browser rather than bloated Mozilla when I finally stop using Netscape 4.x.
Other ones I have tired include Vivian Mail and AK-Mail. AK-Mail is ok, but it uses IE to display HTML messages.
I would perfer something that doesn't use IE, but can at least display HTML decently. Using Gecko would be great, but I can't find a good one. I would also like it to use Unix mailbox format so I can easily change programs again someday. It also must have some sort of filtering.
Is there anyone working on an e-mail program with Gecko like that?
Mozilla of course :-)
it ONLY lacks
spell checker [although I heard you can use NS4.7 plugin for it]
palm address syncing
SMIME
...
POPCORN is the best mail checker I've used. It can delete mail right off the server in case it is a flood, virus, spam
My choice
mozilla set up for email, newsgroups
kmeleon for default browser [with popup blocking]
IE with iDecide [cookie blocking] and anon proxy for Java sites
Calypso 3 is still available. I've taken to using it, because it shows HTML. NTP
PS
I notice Rocket has it available for download.
Hmm it appears MCS has taken down their Calypso page. Well I think I have the zip file around here somewhere.
NTP
Phoenix

It's free, easy, fast. Works great with the silly lizzerd. Can skin to match too.
IMHO, I recommend Eudora. A big program, a little slow, but soooo stable and powerfull...
I tried Kaufman Mail Warrior, very nice, but it seems to have problems if you use to have a very lot of mails.
If you understand french, what about trying Gaston ? Very amazing, and you can delete your POP3 mails directly on the server !
Ok,,I have tried all the above email programs,,and I have been using for a year now Becky Internet Email,,its compact,,offers filtering,,uses very little memory,,and will start up minimized to the sys tray if desired and minimize to the systray..As far as i have tried all the other email programs,,Becky is the best choice,,don't beleive me check it out at http://www.rimarts.co.jp/ it also has spell checker and all.I really like it the very best.And for filtering it offers the Filter TO:,,as to filter out email that does not have your email address in it,,that will just about eliminate all spam because 99% of spam won't actually have your email address in the TO: field.
