Hi all,

Need a Email Client for Windows. Have 8 accounts that I need to manage and don't have Outlook.
Anything decent that I can try, that you can personally recommend or should I just pony up and buy Office?

Thanks

Thunderbird is quite decent
 
+1 ^
I hear good things about the Windows 10 Modern mail app as well.
 
I've been using eM Client for quite a few years now and seems very stable. Also it looks very similar to Outlook.

Just take out an Office 365 Home subscription. For R900-1200 a year (shop around) you get MS Office for 5 x PCs, each with 1TB cloud storage and 60 min/month of Skype airtime to phone landlines/mobiles.

Or use the standard/free mail client in Win 10. Works fine.

R400 for good is to much and you propose R900-R1200 for one year only... .LOL.
I see in other threads increasing push for Office 365 as well. :)

OP already has Word. He might already have O365, you can't argue it's value proposition.
 
Outlook Express of course. :whistle:

Thunderbird with mail merge for sending out multiple emails.
 
Thunderbird struggles with large mails it's db crashes constantly then you need to delete files in the install and run a reindexing etc

What do you define as large mails? I receive up to 20MB sometimes and my Thunderbird has been rock solid. The emails are stored as individual files, not one large database. I recall you can choose either option somewhere in the settings.

If there is such option indeed, I should try Thunderbird myself. It would be easy to create new database and re-index existing files with no messages loss.

I dealt with Outlook database corruption couple times. Database increased to 12GB. Repairing removes lot of messages. Subsequent compacting operation do not decrease PST file size and access to messages is slow.
