“Which Email client would I use, Outlook 2007 or Thunderbird 2.0?”

I’ve been asking myself this question for 3 days now. I want an email client that would be able to handle my numerous email accounts from Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Earthlink. So far Windows Mail seems to be out of the question since it’s giving me hard time.

On Outlook 2007 since it supports Http … adding the Hotmail account gave me no problems whatsoever but when receiving mail, I receive this error message. hrmmm why? Gmail also proved to be a successful added account.

It seem I need a new MSN account… hrmmm… On the WIndows Live.. I just upgraded it. WTF? I need to sign up for a new subscription? WTH is wrong…Oh I get it… I need a paid subscription and not the free one. Well, that’s just Too bad…

On Thunderbird 2.0 the only account I had problem, was Hotmail. All of my other accounts added without problems… My hotmail account seems to be the most stubborn one of the lot. I’ve decided to just forward it to another account as i hate going to the web and go to their respective sites just to view my email.

Well on ease of use and to help relieve stress. I’ll use Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0 it has the same features of Outlook 2007 except for the calendar and best thing about Thunderbird it’s free.

Even choosing which browsers to pick between IE7 or Firefox…Firefox is the winner.

it looks good, the both of them, although Mozilla is much more appealing
