What's the best e-mail client for OS-9? I hate Outlook, Š

Hi Tom

I think the best e-mail client is a personal preference 'thing'.

I like Eudora, but some friends think I've banged my head against the wall for too long and it effects my present day judgement.

Eudora handles multiple accounts (personalities), multiple signatures, multiple mailboxes, plain or rich text e-mail, will show in-line graphics, yayda, yayda, yayda. Probably all modern e-mail clients do now.

I keep my e-mail plain and I do not have Eudora set to open graphics or attachments until I see what they are first. (even though I am on a Mac). Something I do like about Eudora is I use the older .toc and .mbx mailbox structure. This allows me to a: make backups of the important mailboxes, like my 'Mac Canada' mailbox but not necessarily my 'Joke' mailbox (the biggest) and b: because I can boot OS 9 or OS X on my machine, I have the 2 versions of Eudoras using the same mailboxes. If I get my mail in OS X, OS 9 sees it and vice versa.

If my personality goes corrupt, I do not lose my mailboxes. If I lose a mailbox, I haven't lost all my mailboxes. Bad things have happened to my computer so I am glad not to have lost all.
