That's the subject of our new poll. I last asked this question in May of 2004, and at that time, Mail had a whopping 70% share, followed by Entourage and Eudora.

What's your favorite email application?
So is the morale of this story "People want a good IMAP email client?" Seems like it to me. I wonder if Bare Bones (still no IMAP) or PowerMail (pretty poor IMAP) will ever get it. I've purchased both in the past, but abandoned them when I moved to IMAP.
What's your favorite email application?
I prefer sticking with Mail.app, since everytime a new OS X Comes out, Mail.app is always improved exponentially. For awhile, I did use Entourage, until Mail.app was spotlight searchable, and Mail was not. Now that Entourage is searchable with spotlight.. I am so intertwined in mail, I am not going to switch.
What's your favorite email application?
I prefer an email client that keeps multiple user accounts truly separated, not forcing me to write rules to move incoming mail to different folders. Therefore I still prefer PMMail/2 (an old OS/2 POP3 client) to all others. Thunderbird is at least similar but isn't as slick or intuitive as PMMail/2 was. But nowadays I do my email via a web interface and not by any of the providers listed in this poll.
What's your favorite email application?
I use Mail with multiple POP and IMAP accounts, and messages are delivered in to separate inboxes.
What's your favorite email application?
gmail+pop access+mail.app=Sweet.
What's your favorite email application?
Gmail+POP+mail.app
- double spam filter: Mail.app segregates junk not retained by the almost perfect Gmail spam blocker. - mail web access: what Gmail is for. - automatic "backup" of your mail (set Gmail to archive, not to delete). - access from mobile (http://m.gmail.com works great on my iMate sp5m).
What's your favorite email application?
"almost perfect Gmail spam blocker" - is this a joke???? Gmail's spam filtering is the worst I have ever seen.
What's your favorite email application?
Yes, I think the same, and I'm using the same: Gmail+POP access+Apple Mail.
What's your favorite email application?
I have tried a lot of different clients, but still love PowerMail. I use it for POP and IMAP (I am not sure why anyone would describe its IMAP support as poor). I have literally hundreds of mail rules to sort and process my mail. The tight integration with Spam Sieve is a real plus. It also integrates will with the Apple Address Book, which is a really bonus.
What's your favorite email application?
Hands down it's mutt. I used to use Mail.app and then Tiger mucked it all up by moving from individual mbox files to individual files for each and every email. I get the Spotlight support, but when you've got mailboxes with over 10k messages in them, Mail is so stinking slow it's not even funny.
What's your favorite email application?
I couldn't ask for a more powerful, and flexible, email management system.Mutt's limited subset of IMAP protocol supportĀ is the weakest component for me with the setup you described. Mutt-ng adds IMAP reconnecting but no other IMAP enhancements (so far). The muttng-sync tool could eventually change that.
What's your favorite email application?
I agree, I use mutt on Linux but I don't like the way it handles, IMAP, perhaps I still have to learn trics about mutt and IMAP but at the moment, it irks me a bit.. and I need IMAP because of the different computers on which I read my mails.
What's your favorite email application?
Apple Mail 2.07
What's your favorite email application?
If you use IMAP for anything, Thunderbird beats everything else hands down.
What's your favorite email application?
It has to be Mail, since that's what I've chosen to use, but I really miss Eudora [which I used on a PC]. Mail has been my fave ever since Panther.
What's your favorite email application?
Apple Mail. In fact, I route my gmail traffic into it as well so I can make good use of smart folders and tagging (thanks to the fine folks at indev.ca).
What's your favorite email application?
I use Mail + SpamSieve for all 5 of of my e-mail accounts. SpamSieve has the best filter I've seen. Very little spam gets past it and it is easy to train if some does get through.
What's your favorite email application?
Hotmail, with the "big" capacity of 25 MB, it's just out of the spam hook since a couple of months ago (my experience), for years I used to get thousands of spam mails.
What's your favorite email application?
I've used Mail.app, Thunderbird, GMail, and a host of other mail apps over the years. At home, I get by with GMail as suitable for casual email, but at work (even on my Mac) I live and die by Gnus in Emacs. It's the only email reader that capably manages hundreds of emails and threaded conversations efficiently. Ok, unrepentant geek, I guess.
What's your favorite email application?
A few friends and I have been working on a Cocoa based e-mail client designed for IMAP known as Kiwi. You can find out more at: http://www.theronge.com/kiwi/
What's your favorite email application?
I'm surprised no one has commented on GyazMail. It still doesn't do IMAP, but for my POP needs, I really feel there's little that stands close to it. I chose to use it because it had excellent multi-byte character support, which helped in my language testing for the software I work with.
Missing option
.Mac mail is missing.
What's your favorite email application?
Entourage for me... It's quite powerful and now with Spotlight support it meets nearly all my needs. I've tried just about all the options and I keep coming back to it.
What's your favorite email application?
Mail.app in OSX is still top dog to me. Thunderbird is nice, but I prefer mail primarily for the great signature support.
What's your favorite email application?
If Eudora had Unicode and local character sets support, I would use it. Sad, Qualcomm, billion dollar giant purchased it and we see the result...
What's your favorite email application?
I can't figure out which is my favorite. But perhaps folks might elaborate. Here are my criteria: |
