NewMexiKen installed Thunderbird last week; it’s the free email program from Mozilla.org. It took a little time to understand and configure, but I’m liking it better and better. Its spam controls are easy — and fun. If you enable the junk mail feature, when spam gets through you just click the Junk icon and the the program is trained to recognize that type of message as junk — and the message is deleted — all in one click.
Importing an address book from Outlook Express was fairly straightforward as well.
Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows or Mac OS X.
By the way, as reported earlier, Mozilla Firefox is an excellent browser. No pop ups. Tabbed browsing. NewMexiKen only uses Internet Explorer when necessary to see these pages as 75% of you see them — with a bug-ridden browser. Firefox is also free, as is Mozilla 1.6.
