[Elecraft] OT Recent thread about avoiding spam

[Richard Fjeld]

Within the last month, or so, there was a thread about finding an email client to avoid spam, and it talked about email clients.

>From about that time, I had a major email problem, and tested several email clients.  To save time and space, I will say this:

--I found emClient good, but the license agreement scared me away (maybe that is just me).

--I found ThunderBird was the best to set up and configure. It was almost automatic.  I feel it excels in that catagory .

--To my surprise, I found Windows Live Mail from Windows 7 deserves consideration.  Coming from Outlook Express,  I thought Live Mail was not user friendly and awkward, but it actually is fine software.  At first, I thought I had to log in to Live Mail at Outlook.com, but that is optional.  Users only need to go to ‘accounts’ and set up an account for each of the email addresses they are now using.  >From then on, it seems to function as a stand alone email client.  

I have used it for group mailings and it works easily for that.  It has some nice extras.  As for spam, the jury is still out.

I’m still comparing to see if one is more dependable. I just highlighted this line to see if it will be reproduced.
