I am totally sick of the buggy/crappy Microsoft Outlook that I use.

I want to use a different email client but I don't know of any others.

Do you guys know of any email clients that work awesome with gmail?

The only email accounts I have are gmail so of course it would be optimal that I started using an email client that worked well with it.

Thanks.

Hi since you said outlook im guessing your using windows. so use mozilla's mail client found here. I like it and have been using it for a while. gl

I second ahender. I stopped using Thunderbird and went back to using Microsoft Office Outlook because of the former's unsatisfactory Hebrew (and right-to-left) support. I set up my Gmail account back on Thunderbird, but nowadays I used Outlook only for my ISP-provided email, and use Gmail's web interface. I've recently really gotten hooked on Gmail! It just works! It's so amazing!

I like Thunderbird, but I use KMail myself, since I don't have to install extra crap into my machine.

Alright cool I will test out Mozilla Thunderbird then.

Thanks for the input guys.

Did you consider using Thunderbird Portable ? Nothing to install, just unpack the file. You can even run it from your flashdis.

I use mailpicker.Com It works with gmail fine.

Gmail's own webmail interface is quite good and easy to use. I tend only to use the web interface because I get a lot of junkmail / spam and I don't want to have to download these non-sense emails and waste my internet bandwith. I am currently using Thunderbird for another non-Gmail email account. Thunderbird can easily integrate with Gmail (it has a special option for Gmail accounts), so it should be one of the options you are considering.

I have actually found Gmail's spam filters to be quite good. However I guess some email programs may download all folders instead of just the inbox.

I personally just use the web based one. I have never been a huge fan of the client services and almost always have a browser open anyways so leaving another program running is just an extra window to contend with. The gmail web interface is slick and easy to navigate and has a decent amount of organizational options so personally I don't see a huge need for it.

Beyond that if you still really want a client I'd suggest the latest outlook or thunderbird. I know people seem to auto-hate microsoft products but from what I've used of outlook I've never had any large issues with it (well none that were the applications fault, although other people that have used it more may have some complaints I never came across). Thunderbird is pretty solid too although the older versions I've used had a few small things that annoyed me, but overall it was a very solid product and you can't beat the price.
