Email Clients O-Z
Email Clients O-Z
Outlook Express 5.0.2
Outlook Express 5.0.2(OS X; Classic PPC) What can I say about Microsoft's ponderous free combined email (POP3/SMTP/IMAP) / Usenet news client? It is an understatement to say that I'm not a Microsoft software fan, and I don't use OE. However, OE's a feature-laden beastie, for Microsoft masochists.
According to Microsoft's Website, Mainstream hotfix support for Outlook Express 5 was to end on June 30, 2003, and there would be no period of extended hotfix support.
Address AutoComplete allows you to type an address in a message, upon which Outlook Express will show names and addresses of contacts in your Address Book that match, whether you type a first name, last name, nickname, or e-mail address. Smart Attachments encodes attachments using AppleDouble format, which can be read by both Macintosh and Windows operating systems alike. Other encoding formats are also available. The Improved Preview Pane lets you easily read e-mail and perform common e-mail tasks without opening a separate message window. For example, you can use buttons in the Preview pane to increase the size of text and rewrap text so that it's easier to read a message. One Key Read helps you to save time by minimizing the number of key strokes and mouse actions required to read messages. Pressing the spacebar will scroll through a message. At the end of the message, press the spacebar again to move to the next unread message. The Info Bar, located at the top of messages you receive, contains information about the message. For example, if you replied to a message, the Info Bar includes the date you replied and provides a link so that you can view your reply. If you performed more than one action on a message, a link appears so that you can view the history of the message. You can use the Advanced Find dialog box to search for messages by a wide variety of criteria, and by more than one criterion at a time. In addition to storing email addresses and phone and fax numbers, the Outlook Express 5 Address Book has custom fields you can use to add any information you want, such as birthdays or names of spouses. The Address Book is also tightly integrated with messaging; for example, when you address a message, you automatically access addresses in your Address Book. And when you receive a message from someone, you can easily add the sender to your Address Book. If you regularly receive junk e-mail, Outlook Express 5 can automatically identify potential junk messages. In the Junk Mail Filter dialog box, you can specify how you want to distinguish messages identified as potential junk mail. For example, you can make the messages a different color than your other messages, mark them as read, or run an AppleScript to handle them. In Outlook Express 5, you can automate certain tasks by creating a schedule that specifies what you want Outlook Express to do and when you want it done. Outlook Express then performs the tasks at the time you specified. Outlook Express 5's Mailing List Manager helps you manage the messages you receive from the mailing lists you subscribe to. The Mailing List Manager can automatically sort and file these messages, so that you can keep them separate from your personal and business messages. Outlook Express 5 also supports users who share a computer by storing separate account information and Preference settings for each user. Outlook Express also supports the new multiuser functionality available in Macintosh OS version 9.0 and later.
Minimum System Requirements for Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x
OE 5.x stores all messages in one huge database file -- definitely not my cup of tea. There's no way I'm going to entrust my e-mail files to Microsoft software!.
Entourage For Mac
Entourage for Mac is an offshoot of Outlook Express 5.x, retaining the interface, email, and newsgroups capabilities from Outlook Express and adding a personal information manager to keep track of tasks, notes, appointments, contacts, and more. In other words, even more bloat in an already loaded to the gunwales application. As I said, if you like that sort of stuff.... The latest update to Entourage now includes Exchange support for Mac users in organizations that use Microsoft Exchange Server for e-mail messaging and collaboration. Entourage lets you schedule meetings by accessing free/busy information, synchronize your Entourage calendar and address book with the Exchange server, and look up e-mail addresses in the Exchange global address list.
Entourage System requirements:
Running or moving to Mac OS X? You need Microsoft Entourage X, built specifically for Mac OS X. Entourage X seamlessly combines e-mail, calendar, address book, and tasks into one powerful program. Now offered in a box of its own, Entourage X sells for $99.

POPmail/Lab 1.2
The Lab version of POPmail is a simple POP3 e-mail client optimized for use in computer labs and on kiosks. Here the idea is that roaming users (people on a shared machine in a lab or at a kiosk) should be able to read and compose mail without necessarily removing mail from the POP server and permanently storing it on the computer they are using. Since you can read mail without moving it off the mail server, you do not need to carry a floppy disk to keep a copy of your e-mail. Any mail you have not deleted remains on the mail server. Because POPmail/Lab was designed for computer labs and kiosks, the user interface was kept as simple as possible so that there is minimal training required.
