Mac OS X Mail
One of revolutionary features in MAC OS X is a powerful email client built right into Apple's new operating system. OS X Jaguar's built-in Mail app now helps you deal as powerfully and efficiently with the email you don’t want as it does the email you care about. It comes with sophisticated built-in junk mail (spam) filtering that uses adaptive latent semantic analysis to identify and nail junk mail messages and simple controls you need to train it to agree with your view of what’s junk and what’s not — like the Junk button in the Toolbar that lets you so label any messages you choose, and the Not Junk override that appears on any message either you or the built-in filter labeled. When you’re satisfied that you and the filter are on the same page, checking the Automatic option sends everything the filter identifies straight to a junk mail folder which you can set to empty automatically either daily, weekly, monthly or whenever you quit Mail. There’s more, like the ability to easily spot all the messages in a reply thread, plus more powerful and flexible rule making for automatically handling mail you receive regularly, But the new Jaguar version of Mail is also about greater simplicity too, especially when it comes to the task of viewing and dealing with your email when you have more than one account. It’s easy to see all your incoming email in a single Inbox, or to open that inbox like you open a list view folder in the Finder so you can select each account individually. Saving particular messages for the record — travel confirmations, for instance, or online order correspondence — regardless of the account they came to is simply a matter of dragging them to any of the mailbox folders you create, and you can create as many you find useful. When you need to search for something later, you can now search for messages across all your mailbox folders at once. Mac OS X Mail has from the beginning supported drag and drop attachments from the Finder and the automatic display of photos in the messages themselves. Chat with MailNow that system integration has been extended to include QuickTime, so you can watch QuickTime movies right in the message instead of in a disconnected window belonging to a different app. And Mail’s integration with Address Book and iChat lets you see from within Mail who you could reach via iChat. Mail has borrowed and enhanced Eudora 5's on the fly spell checking. When you type in a word Mail doesn’t recognize, the program underlines the questionable word. Simply control-click on it, and a popup menu appears offering you correct spellings to choose from. That's very cool. With Mail, you can also drop attachments directly into your messages. Just drag a sound file, image or movie to the body of your message, and that’s it. It’s loaded. Your enclosure is ready for sending. Also cool.

Mozilla 1.4
Mozilla is an open-source Web Browser that includes a very capable email client module. Mozilla provides underpinnings of the Netscape 6 and 7 series of browsers. It includes all of the main features of Netscape 6-7.x, including the Mail client. Be forewarned, Mozilla is pretty big (14.9 MB) and RAM-hungry, but it's a fast, powerful browser as well as an email client. Since the Mozilla 1.3 release, Mozilla Mail has basic junk mail classification capabilities. This means you can train your client to distinguish between good mail and junk mail. See the release notes for more info. Mozilla 1.4 contains the following Mail and Newsgroup features and fixes. • Mail now has junk-mail context menu items, a "delete junk mail" menu item and many other usability improvements for junk-mail controls. Mozilla is transitioning the Mac Classic (OS 8.x and 9.x) build to Mozilla Port status. This means that mozilla.org won't be making official Classic builds beginning with 1.3alpha. For 1.3alpha (but probably not later releases) users of OS 9 with carbonlib can use the OS X (CFM) build. To use the CFM OSX builds on OS 9 follow these steps: Download and unstuff the binary. Open the disk image. Drag the Mozilla folder to your desktop. Open the folder and double-click on the Mozilla.app file.

Mozilla ThunderBird 0.2
Mozilla.org is planning to abandon the venerable browser suite motif it inherited from Netscape. Mozilla 1.5, currently in alpha, will probably be the last suite version of Mozilla, after which there will be a switch to a leaner, browser-only product based on the current Mozilla FireBird development browser. In order to accommodate the many Mozilla users who depend on Mozilla's Mail module for email, Mozilla .org has developed a standalone email client application called ThunderBird, and a very nice one it is too in the three-pane mode familiar to users of OS X Mail and Outlooki Express, et al. Mozilla Thunderbird is a redesign of the integrated Mozilla App-Suite mail component. The goal is to leverage much of the existing functionality of that product to produce a stand-alone mail application that is simple and extensible, while the Mozilla ThunderBird browser becomes a standalone application rather than part of a suite. he intended user is someone who uses Mozilla Firebird (or other standalone browser) as their primary browser and wants a mail client based on Mozilla that "plays nice" with the browser. In addition, by focusing solely on standalone mail, the developers say thay think they can "make some dents in the overall footprint and performance of the mail client by removing components and chrome we don't need. On top of that, the UI becomes much cleaner as a stand alone application as opposed to being part of the Mozilla suite." In addition to the feature set found in Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird has several new features and improvements to make your mail and new experience better. Highlights include:
• The ability to customize your toolbars the way you want them. Choose View / Toolbars / Customize inside any window.
New in this version:
Mozilla ThunderBird also uses mbox email box files, which can be opened with a text editor, and should be able to be converted to open in other email clients like Eudora (I haven't tried this yet). There is no import function from other email clients as yet, but I presume that it's possible to import email archives and address lists from Mozilla Mail. Like Eudora 6.0, ThunderBird has a highly configurable junk mail filter, and there is a nice search engine. Mozilla Thunderbird is beta freeware

Mulberry 3.0
Mulberry is a high-performance, scalable, and graphically groovy internet mail client. It uses the IMAP (IMAP4rev1, IMAP4, and IMAP2bis) protocol for accessing mail messages on a server, the standard SMTP protocol for sending messages, and does lots and lots of things with MIME parts for mixed text and "attachments" of many different types of files and data. The Mulberry v3.0 release is now available. This brand new release features a redesigned UI that provides an optional 3-pane layout as well as preview panes for other windows. Version 3.0 introduces support for a new optional 3-pane window mode, as well as many other features, enhancements and fixes.

Musashi 3.4.1
Musashi supports basic email client functions as well as many more useful and unique features including message searching and message filtering, and is one of the few currently deveoped email clients that still supports 68k Macs. Since Musashi is multi-user compatible, multiple users can share one Musashi application. This is very powerful in small-medium office (including SOHO) where three or four persons share on Macintosh. Of course the data of each user is protected by password. Musashi is multi-account compatible. This is very useful for the person who use multiple ISP or has multiple email addresses. There is no annoyance operation to switch account settings. You can customize the graphical user interface of Musashi with module. Musashi is very useful and powerful. But it is very small application, and another of a select few that runs on older Macintoshes (e.g. 68K Macintosh like LC series) smoothly.

Netscape 7.1 is the full zoot, "commercial," AOL-ized version of Mozilla, and includes a Web browser (Navigator); HTML authoring environment (Composer); a POP 3 email client (Mail) as well as a newsreader and instant messenger. In configuration it is thus similar to older versions of Netscape, but it is an entirely new application from the ground up, based on the open source Mozilla browser. Netscape Mail is a powerful and complete tool you can rely on to manage email the way you want. Free Netscape Mail Account, with 5MB of free space for all your messages, you can send and receive e-mail from anywhere online. You can also manage other accounts with Netscape 7.1, such as your ISP account, work account, and even AOL Mail.
Support for AOL Mail or Free Netscape Mail within Netscape 7.01 Mail includes a simple to use Wizard that let's you configure AOL Mail (if you are a member) or a free Netscape.com mail account. AOL members can also take advantage of important AOL mail features such as the ability to unsend messages, check message status, and mark mail as unread. Does Netscape 7.1 work as an email client? Well, if you like all your eggs in one basket, so to speak, this (or Netscape Communicator 4.8) is your application. I prefer the "purer" Mozilla version, but that's a personal choice. Also, be aware that Netscape is no longer being developed, so you might want to check out the future which is Mozilla's ThunderBird email client and FireBird browser combo. ThunderBird is outlined elsewhere in this article.

Netscape 7.1 is freeware.

Netscape 7.1 does not support the Classic Mac OS, but older versions of Netscape are still available for download here:
If you have an older, slow Mac try Netscape Communicator 4.8, which is available at the URL above, and includes the same suite of applications as Netscape 7.1. The much older and pokier Communicator 4.08 is also still available to support 680x0 Macs.
Nisus Email 1.6.1
One of the Mac email clients that I use every day is Nisus Email, which, in the Nisus tradition, offers features distinctly different from any other e-mail program. Among these, the most unique are Nisus Email's ability to integrate its functions with virtually any text-crunching program, and to send chunks of dragged and dropped text or attached files with just a couple of mouse clicks. Working from a word-processor or text editor, you have access to much wider variety of text formatting and proofing functions than even in powerful e-mail client Eudora 5.0.1. Nisus Email is one of the easiest Mac email clients to send quick messages with. After all, how hard is it to drag and drop text from any word processor or text editor to Nisus Email's contact icon and swoosh! Away it goes! Integration with a word processor makes sending email from your favorite word processor ("Nisus Writer is my favorite..." repeat that over and over) as easy as saving a file. Instead of using your email client to compose messages, use your word processor. Nisus Email also has several ways in which you can send emails from within other applications. In fact, any application that supports either Drag and Drop or file saving can be used to email a file or message. All this is done quickly and without leaving the application you are currently working in.
Nisus Email 1.6.1 is a free update for those who have already purchased Nisus Email. New since 1.5.1:
Nisus Email is like any standard email client in that it manages your emails, but the similarities end there. The most noticeable difference is a tiny global window that always stays visible no matter what application you are in. This window is the main interface with Nisus Email. This means that where ever you are, Nisus Email is ready to go. When you click the global window it will expand to fill your screen. This window displays all of your email contacts. From here you can quickly email anyone via the Quick Message Window: Just click on a contact icon, type your message, and hit send. It's that easy. Another way Nisus Email makes sending emails easy is DragSend. When you are in any application, such as a word processor or web browser, you can select some text and drag and drop it onto the Nisus Email icon. At that point the Instant Window expands and you can see all of your email contacts. Now you can choose to either send the text immediately or edit it to your liking. When you move the mouse over the top part of a contact icon you will see an indicator that the text is to be sent directly to the contact, with no delay. If you move the mouse over the bottom of a contact you will similarly see an indicator that you will be prompted to edit the text in the Quick Message Window before it is sent. Just move the mouse over one of these options and click to activate your choice. If you want to send a file (or a folder, or even multiple files) using DragSend, just drag and drop the file(s) onto the Nisus Email icon and click the contact you would like to send the files to. Just as with DragSending text, you can choose to either send or edit the message before it is sent. If you choose to send the file(s) immediately they are sent with a standard message (which you can customize to each icon). This standard message can even include a list of the attached file names. Nisus Email is setup to constantly check a folder named "Dispatch." As soon as a file is placed within the Dispatch folder Nisus Email will expand the Instant Window and ask you to whom you would like to send the file to. You then click the recipient's icon, and the file is sent. There are two possible ways of using the Dispatch folder, depending on your preference settings. Under one option, text content of the file (where the format is known) is extracted, automatically edited (by adding extra returns for paragraph breaks where needed) and sent as the normal email message. Under an alternative option, the text is extracted as explained but the fully formatted file is automatically attached to the message as an attachment.
To use the Dispatch folder from within Nisus Writer (or indeed any word processor) just prepare the email, then save it in the Dispatch folder. You immediately see the Nisus Email Instant Window, click the icon of the recipient, and the message is sent. Preferences also allow you to accumulate your files in the Dispatch folder before sending and begin sending only when you activate the Nisus Email window by clicking it.
Classic Mac OS
Nisus Email sells for $29.95.
