Used that for damn near 15 years before I was just like "I really don't check my email enough to even warrant having a client installed on my desktop."
I just use it as an RSS reader that happens to also be able to read my email
Since the big ui update, Thunderbird looks so good
Haven't used Thunderbird in ages.
Will have to check out.
What's hilarious is the home version of office was almost wholly incompatible with flagship Office... even down to the doc types.... the icing, it was called 'Microsoft Works'... a truly terrible product
Yes. It needed to be branded "works" because it did not.
Give me Eudora.
If you had told me ten years ago that I would still be using Outlook (on desktop and mobile) I would not have believed you. It's way more stable than it was back then and honestly it's the mail client that I find least objectionable.
But can you connect to the Microsoft Support Usenet server?
I'm pretty sure I had to use outlook express at some point eons ago, but I seem to have blocked all memories of it from my mind. I wonder why...
I remember that in the days before I got a gmail invite, I very quickly learned to use Thunderbird for emails.
