Windows 7 Email

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. I understand none is provided with it. 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. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

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. -- John Aldred |

So can Microsoft Outlook 2007, and probably lots of other e-mail clients. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

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. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

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. -- John Aldred |
