Title: Looking for a Email Program
Post by: LSD72 on April 21, 2011, 18:50: I am looking for a Program that I can check 4 email accounts from. Screw using outlook...lol.

I asked my brother about Incredimail so waiting to hear from him.

Basically I want something that I click a box and I am reading and sending from one account. Click another Box... same thing with another account. I am tired of hopping from one account to another.. just want it centralized.

Any suggestion on some that I can go look at?

Thanks in advance.

PS.. if it has any bearing on it... between Yahoo and gmail accounts and I primarily use Firefox for my browser.

I am eyeballing Pegasus Mail right now..its free and I might try it after I look at some more.

Yahoo Mail Classic (free) does not allow for Pop clients. Google is no problem but all the tips and programs for Yahoo do not work. Maybe I can slowly migrate things to a gmail address.

How does that work for getting stock sites to change your email registration? Is it a real pain in the buttock?

Yep, that's correct. I had to upgrade. B*stards.

Cheap, and 1 month trial. Good luck.

Post by: LSD72 on April 22, 2011, 12:15: So far, Thunderbird does all that I need it to do. I set up 2 more email addys in gmail. I think I can get everything to gmail except for facebook. I guess that means my personal yahoo will become my junk catcher just so I can keep the Facebook setup.
