I was pretty sure this came up before, but a Search produced everything else but a list of mail software.
I have been using an old Mozilla5.0/Netscape7.1 email package. It is not compatible with just about anything any more, and I am looking for a replacement other than MS Outlook. Outlook is just too popular a target for attacks, and besides, I find it quite ugly and uncomfortable to use.
I am looking for something that can handle Rich text formats, HTML, embedded images, attachments of all sorts. I would appreciate hearing what you are using in WinXP, what you needed to add to get it to work, extra considerations, etc.
Basically, updated versions of what you were using, split off into separate programs (that will launch each other as needed). There is an email archiver that will save your old email in a format that the new one can load. So I’ve transferred my email from my old Win98 system on over to XP. I have everything I wanted to keep from 1998 on, including transfer from 2 previous machines.
Thx very much, guys. It loaded in a minute, and all the email problems I’ve had today were instantly resolved! My phone line has gone dead, but my email works. I’m batting 500!
Still a bit cramped. Mozilla refuses to copy an image from one email to another, forcing me to save the image to disk first. Just one of my pet peeves, but not a big deal compared to ease of use in other ways.
Thx, but Forward does not contain inserted images. Edit as New behaves the same when I Edit and then try to resend the email. Reply (and then replace the mailing list) works for imbedded images, but not attachments. Frustrating.
Forward works for me with an embedded image (from an email, image not saved to disk), OR an attachment (using Thunderbird 1.50.12, May 2007). I have also bounced an .mp3 around this way, and it works as well (and plays at the far end).
Sounds more like a configuration problem for you, or how your file types are assigned on your system.
Yes, but I do not necessarily want to forward the existing mailing list, just the contents and/or attachments. The only way I’ve found to do that is to save every image or attachment and then add it to the new email. In earlier versions of Mozilla, and in the curretn version of Outlook, you could righ-click on the image in one email and then paste it into another that was in compose mode.
When forwarding, you can change the addressee easily. You can edit the contents (if text - if some weird script, HTML, you might be limited). You can edit the Subject line. You can change the Reply to:, etc. You can send all attachments, or delete or add to the list displayed.
Pictures & Attachments will remain, the rest of the content goes away. Come on, you can DO this.
And BTW, you can use Shift or CTRL to select multiple messages to forward, and they’ll pop up into multiple Compose windows. Edit content and set addressee as needed.
Sorry, but that doesn’t work at all. Ctrl+a selects both text and embedded graphics when composing or editting. A Del wipes them all out.
When I Forward an email, the body is empty. The forwarded mail appears as an attachment in the Attachment box (upper right) as a .eml file. Double-clicking on that brings up an empty window.
In neither case am I able edit the forwarded note, nor can I remove previous email addresses of previous senders or receivers.
tryin’ to be difficult ain’t ya!
