What Email Client Do You Use At Work

What Email client do you use at work?

Here we use Outlook. It seems to do everything we need. Our computers and our network seem to handle Outlook with without much of a problem.

I can’t say the same for running Outlook at home, because it drags down resources on my PC.

Outlook also, mind you it does too much, I don't know anybody who does more than just send and receive mail with it.

Anything that I could loosely call 'work'

I do at school, and I always use my email provider's web interface. I've just never been very fond of clients. All my mail POPs into my main account, and I can just check it from there.

My husband has email at work, but their computers are so old and slow, he says it's often faster to use web mail rather than wait for a client to load...

I am given a web based mail account to use at work. It support smtp and pop but my work place network does not able to connect to the pop.

Mozilla. I havent liked anything else. When the Mozilla news/mail client Thunderbird is out I might switch to that.

Outlook. And I hate this program... I use either TheBat! or Mozilla at home.

I use mainly Outlook and Outlook Express, depending on what information I want to send with the emails.

We have Novell GroupWise at work. It does have a web interface, so I hardly ever use the GroupWise desktop client. I just go to a web browser and access my e-mails that way.

At home, I use OE. I have been doing alright with it for the past 4-5 years.

Personally, primarily Microsoft Entourage v.X

Our college district uses Lotus Notes. It is awful!!! We are a three college district, and most people are so email ignorant that they hit the reply all button and send mail to all three colleges when only theirs should be notified!! I am not the biggest Outlook fan, but it is better than Lotus Notes!

Chalk up another "vote" for Lotus Notes. We use it where I work. I'm not sure what admiralu's gripe is; if a user hits the wrong button, that's not a deficiency in the program, just a matter of "learning curve" (or maybe plain old stupidity). Personally, I don't mind Notes at all, although it has its shortcomings (i.e., messages are not marked as replied, forwarded, etc.)

Best wishes,
David P.
