I have to use it at work. Thankfully our IT nerds push the classic
interface on us. Does it work? Sure. The worst feature in outhouse
is the search.

Now in my defense, I haven't found an email client I like in 40 years
of looking for one. LOL

... If you're feeling good, don't worry.You'll get over it.

My OG favorite was Eudora. Now I use Thunderbird almost exclusively.

Back in the day I would use Pegasus Mail. It still works to the day.I
use the Windows version for certain things. After that came Outlook
Express and now I use Outlook. I guess it's what you know and what'
you're used to.

One worth looking at is Claws Mail. This is what I use for Usenet
newsgroups but it's also works with imap/pop3 and has a lot of plugins
for various things.

I migrated my company from a Mac-based email system to a single UNIX
box running Qpopper with a company license for Eudora. We needed 4
boxes for the Mac mail system, UNIX running on one desktop box did the
trick. We figured out how to share a company directory, signatures and
more - very cool.

I remember the sound of the Eudora email chime going off when someone
sent a message to "all".

That brings back memories. ;)

I eventually got settled on sylpheed, which eventually morphed into claws.

I use Eudora. It has its weaknesses (including that it makes messages more likely to be marked as spam), and I have to use stunnel in order to have actual basic security, but I like the whole, "everything is a text file" aspect.

(And, to be fair, I don't open it that often, as I just look at my e-mail through a web interface, most of the time.)

One thing I liked was that it had (don't know if it still does or not) UUencode/UUdecode built right in.

Would be really nice if Netrunner or Syncterm had that built in as well.
