email clientBest Email Client For GmailReplying to BitShiftI am otherwise ok with a web-based client. But (silly enough reason) I want a client whose icon I can identify among my umpteen browser windows (on mac). Also, it'd be good to have off-line access to email. And I am talking about only my gmail account. So, mailplane may be an alternative, except it costs money. Any other advice?

eM ClientBest Email Client For Gmail

I use eM Client for about a year. Everything you need is just fill in your gmail credentials and your gmail account is set. It allows you to synchronize contacts and calendars and also integrates google jabber. I also love the communication and attachment history = no search needed. Well, it's not for free if you want more than 2 e-mail accounts, but for 49 bucks it definitely worth it.

I also use a web based one. However, I see the possibilities that Thunderbird offers. Instead of opening a new window/tab to read your email, just click on the Thunderbird icon. However, you also have to deal with another window anyway.

Outlook doesn't work correctly with IMAP.  It's not a matter of auto-hate, but since Microsoft leverages their semi-monopoly to edge out competition, their products will sometimes neglect to remain current with industry standards.

 Same goes for Apple, though they have less of a platform to leverage in terms of email.

 Not moralizing here, it's just how things are.  Outlook is a terrible email client for gmail. Mac's Mail.App is decent.  On Mac, Mailplane is good, but costs money.  Thunderbird works fine for most things.

EvolutionBest Email Client For Gmail

I have been using Evolution for a few years now with two gmail accounts. One for personal and one for business. I haven't had anything bad to say about it ever. I know a lot of people use Thunderbird. I have thought about giving Thunderbird a try to see how it compares to Evolution; however, I guess I'm just that happy with Evolution. 

I used to use Outook back in my Microsoft days, but they are long over. Evolutions address book seems to sync well with my gmail address books as well.

If you're running the right OS(Linux) to use it, I would seriously give it a try.

Clients...Best Email Client For Gmail

Lets take a look...

Every mail client is with some advantages and disadvantages...

1. Outlook: Outlook is Microsoft product. All looks good with it but problems are slow synchro, too many bugs and biggest one --- ONLY ONE ACOUNT IS SUPPORTED. If you try to use other one. Its all mess or it crashes in few days.No compression support, Easy hacking support, shows your password and everything easily. Not free, comes with Office Suite or you can buy it separately.

2.Thunderbird: Everybodys favorite now a days. But some issue are unresolved. Many times it downloads only the unread messages NOT ALL (even you start it for the very first time). Not much secured but ok ok compression and multiple account support. Trendy and easy handling makes it lead. Addons support is the best feature you can have here also its FREE.

 3. THE BAT: HERE COMES THE KING. Yes Bat is with multiple account support, PASSWORD SECURITY FOR EACH ACCOUNT SEPARATELY, HIGH compression, Message filtering, Attachment handler, downloads fast, Don't reveal you information openly, have search capabilities and other things to rely on. BUT ITS NOT FREE. There are two edition to buy-- HOME and PRO.

 

Hope I helped Thank you.

Have A Nice Day.

I used to use email clients all the time for most of my email accounts, the best one I've ever used was YAM (Yet Another Mail client/Mailer) which was really comfortable and had everything you need, but it wasn't for Windows, on Windows I tried the Bat, then Thunderbird, but having 2 mozilla engines in your memory if you are using Firefox too was just to "stupid".. email clients were good, because you could keep your mail at your computer which has much more space than an ordinary email account, the days web mails offered ~60 MB and it was much faster to read them on your computer with an email client than always browsing a web mail and trying to organise everything..

GMail now with nowadays connections and browsers are so much faster and comfortable !!!

Since GMail got so much better and now the web interface can be used for most other emails which has POP support/feature, I don't need any email client, I just use GMail and put all my email accounts there and filter them as I want, I can access it anywhere I want, on any computer which has Internet connection, even on a mobile phone which has Opera mini and some kind of connection, Wifi or Gprs..

The only email client i've used is Mozilla Thunderbird which I found quite good, but that was a while ago. I just use Gmail's web interface, I like how they've set it up with labels, stars, archiving emails etc. I think it's very efficient, quite quick and now they have themes so it looks even better.
Plus for some reason my gmail account gets so much spam... it all gets filtered into the "spam" folder but it's still annoying and I wouldn't want to have to deal with that through an email client.
