Which email client do you use?

Outlook ( Which version )

Thunderbird

Windows Mail

Web based Mail

other.... if so which one?
 
Outlook 2007 - suits me fine for my main e-mail addresses... Gmail for everything else ;)
 
Gmail for personal. Outlook 2007 for my business emails. Have multiple accounts on outlook 2007, worked liked a dream until few weeks ago. Every now and again. keep getting this annoying imap timeout. Oh and i linked a business account to gmail just for the fun of it. Works freaking brilliant also
 
Personal and work are hosted GMail..

use thunderbird for personal via imap because it is a pain to run 2 gmail accounts
 
Using Thunderbird on main Windoze pc, Evolution(default) on Linux(Ubuntu) pc & Sylpheed(Very fast!) on netbook...
 
No one using mainly outlook with their gmail account?

How do you get your emails without being online? And as far as I remember, you can access GMail offline.

Sysem, what I meant is how do you open the gmail client when offline. With outlook, thunderbird etc... you have the actual software installed on your pc and you can read your mail without going online. Surely you will need a connection to to download the email and send email. That was not my question however.

I dont use gmail, I use Thunderbird (more than happy with it) just wondered if gmail has the same capability as per above.

Your question was already answered on the previous page.
Google has a program called "Gears" that can run many web apps offline.

As part of my google apps account i downloaded a little thing that basically makes shortcuts to gmail/calendar then they open in chrome but with no toolbars or anything. Also links your mailto: links to them. Install gears with that and you've basically got a desktop client.
