Wanted: Advice on Non-outlook based email client.

Mail

(granted, you'll have to drop "P Home" from your requirements... leaving OS X)

Aeolius, I'll give it a try I guess... Not sure if I've ever been to that website before though.

I'm in the middle of downloading and trying out calypso right now though.

Okay I just gave Eudora a try and set up was easy enough but I can get it to look like outlook. Inbox/folders on the left and message on the right I can force it to open it pops up a new window...

I don't think I understand your question/problem here. The window structure can be rearranged and many things can be automated. I doubt you'll get any program to look exactly like Outlook (even Outlook itself keeps changing), so I suppose I should ask how important this is to you. (For instance, is it just a familiarity issue or is there something that's important to the way you work?) And if you do have something that's particularly important to you, why not ask if it's possible to do it (either here or from some other source of technical information)? Many things the system is capable of isn't obvious at first glance. There's virtually nothing that I've wanted it to do that it wasn't happy to handle for me once I knew where to look.

Yeah and hate when they change it, personally I was happy with Microsoft Exchange client and everything since then is a step down. It’s all familiarity to me, I know computers well enough but if it should be under tools and services it should stay there.

I got Calypso to do everything I want to though so I'm pretty happy with that. I'm still having some issue though. I'll post more when I can. Probably in a new thread with a new name.

(hehe) Yeah, programs change so often I gave up on ever being familiar with them. By the time I got used to something, it wasn't that way any more. But I'm pretty happy if I can still do the stuff I want in some way.

I hope you enjoy your new email program.
