Windows Live Mail - The latest free email client from Microsoft
The latest email client from Microsoft's stable is called Windows Live Mail. It's a free download and can be installed in a few minutes on computers running either Vista or the XP operating system. Windows Live Mail includes many fatures not found in Windows Mail and Outlook Express including multiple account setup, configuration of Gmail and Hotmail. It also includes a RSS reader, a blogging tool, an automated junk email filter, a photo email utility to send email with large photo attachments.

Windows Vista users were surprised to find Windows Mail as the default email client instead of Outlook Express. However, the two programs are quite similar - I like to think Windows Mail as Outlook Express new version - similar interface, layout and functionality. Unfortunately, Microsoft has stopped the development and support for Windows Mail. They now urge you to download Windows Live Mail - maybe you should think of how to uninstall Windows Mail. Any way, whether you consider Windows Mail as Outlook Express 7 or a completely different email client, is pointless as both these email programs are outdated.
Windows Mail help and tips - default email program on VistaMicrosoft Outlook Express - email software
Microsoft Outlook Express would definitely be the most popular email client software in the world because it is supplied free with the Windows operating system (the most popular operating system). Outlook Express is a small and mean email client software and does its job well. I have been using Outlook Express on my Windows systems for a long time now and am quite a satisfied - I have no complaints that is. However, there are certain aspects where I would like to see an improvement - Searching and tagging emails functionality should definitely be better. I have extensive articles on Outlook Express if you want to get the maximum out of this software.

Mozilla's Thunderbird is a free, open source, cross-platform email client software. It is fast, safe and an easy to use program with intelligent spam filters and quick email message search function. It also offers junk mail filters and anti-phishing protection with advanced security. A built-in spell checking function will help you correct those pesky errors. But what I like best in Thunderbird email client software is that you can extend its functionality through Extensions. You can also change the look and feel of the email software using themes.

Opera Mail email software comes with the Opera browser and supports multiple e-mail accounts using both POP and IMAP protocols. What I really liked about Opera Mail is the powerful search functions. You can search by sender, date, subject or content and can combine variables to narrow your search. Additionally, clicking on a contact's name will display all correspondences with that person (great feature). You can also label the incoming emails as important, to do, call back, funny etc. Opera Mail comes with Junk email filters that you can even train to suit your requirements.

The two features that make this program standout from the rest are (1) unlimited email storage space and (2) downloading of Yahoo email, yes, even from the free accounts.

The first version of Becky! Internet Mail software tool was developed in 1996.
