There are dozens of choices available to you. Regardless of whether
you use Windows 7 or any other version of Windows, which one you use
is entirely up to you, and we don't all use the same one.

That's correct. Here's my standard message on that subject:

Windows 7 comes with *no* e-mail or newsgroup program. Although many
people object to this, I think it's a step in the right direction,
since it leaves everyone more free to choose whatever program(s) he
likes best. There are many choices available, both from Microsoft and
from third-parties. Some are free and some are for sale. Microsoft has
Windows Live Mail available for download for free and Outlook (a
different program from outlook express) available for sale, either
alone or as part of Microsoft Office.

Some people will tell you to use Windows Live Mail; others will tell
you to use Thunderbird; still others may have other recommendations.
My advice is to ignore all such recommendations. I personally use
Microsoft Outlook for e-mail and Forté Agent for newsgroups, but you
should try several and choose what *you* like best, rather than make
your decision based on what I, or anyone else, likes best.

Lots of choices, including Thunderbird (www.mozilla.org/thunderbird)
and Pegasus (www.pmail.com), both free.

Do you happen to know if any of the various e-mail clients allow you to set
a POP3 filter which will filter on size?

In other words, is there one where I can block all messages above a pre-set
size, and then choose whether to download or delete on the server.

Pegasus mail can do that.

So can Microsoft Outlook 2007, and probably lots of other e-mail
clients.

Without downloading from the server first?




Sorry, was that a requirement of the question? I must have missed it.

But unless you have a very slow internet connection, it hardly
matters.

Outlook 2003 can't, or at least I can't figure out how. I haven't found
any other mail clients besides Pegasus that can do it, either. It's not
something I've needed to do for a while, but there was a time when I
was getting mailbombed with messages having large attachments while I
was on a dialup connection, so that came in handy.

How can you do it with Outlook 2007?

In spite of spam filtering by my ISP I still get plenty of junk mail.

If I filter on size and set this to a low value I stop all mail.
I then just download that which I want and delete the majority on the
server.

I've been doing that for some years - yes it started in pre-broadband days,
but I still find it convenient even with a fast connection.

You may wonder why I am asking about a mail client if I already have one
that does as I want. It's a Linux mail client - I want one that will work
with Win7.
