Windows Live Mail Free Alternatives

[lost]

Thunderbird is ok but its not user friendly dont think its been updated in a long time.

Windows 8/10 mail is a joke. Most ppl cant stand it.

Microsoft is axing Windows Live Mail.

Well, they did, back in 2012.

You weren't very clear in your OP.

Microsoft suggests using either its free Mail app or Outlook, the email and personal information manager that is part of Microsoft Office.

 

Obviouslly Microsoft wants people to pay for Office. 

 

There is a few free applications, but I can't recommend any because I don't like any of them. What about 'eM Client'?

Yeah there are a few out there just most are not very good lol

Will look into em Client. Have you used it any good?

No, I haven't used it. Just had a look for alternatives.

 

I get Office dirt cheap through my work so I have never had a need for free clients.

If your customers are elderly then they'll probably want something simply? Assuming.

 

What about Mailbird? It looks relatively easy to use and has a familar layout.

Will look into that. Looks real good. Nice simple design

There's The Bat!, emClient, FossaMail, MailBird, and PostBox, the latter three of which are actually based on the Thunderbird core.

All of them cost money, apart from FossaMail which is actually made by the developers of PaleMoon, the 64-bit Firefox clone.

 

I used the Bat! years ago, when it was one of the only other decent email clients out there.

Since then, I usually opt for WebMail, but completely understand there are many of the older generation who won't giveup their desktop clients.

 

I've had a chance to play with both PostBox and MailBird, and would lean toward either of the two for simplicity.

I still cannot decide between the two myself, so it would be awesome if someone would compare the two.
