[AccessD] Survey - Preferred Email and NewsGroups client

Hi A.D.

At most mail hosts - at least at GMail - you can set up the account to forward each and every mail to another e-mail address to suite your demand for backup. This could be one at a competing provider.
At GMail you can create accounts as you go - every time your archived mail volume exceeds 7 GB, open another account and redirect the forwarded mail to this.

For the free web accessed mail services, don't expect everything; there is a reason why they are free.

William,

    Thanks for the kind confirmation. One factor that militates against adoption of third party mail client is that if the owning company happens to discontinue the product or fails to bring out matching upgrade suiting future versions of Windows, it can pose a problem in retrieving archived messages stored under the said application.

    Apparently WLM is missing one of the nice features of OE, namely -  hot key navigation. For example, in case of OE, pressing any key in the Copy or Move dialog box (or directly in the folders pane) takes you to the next folder where the name starts with the given character.

Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

  I've used a hot-mail account for the longest time and always used OE as my 
  client. MS changed Hot Mail so that it was no longer compatible with OE and 
  refused to upgrade OE. That left me with a choice in MS mail platforms of 
  Live Mail or Outlook. After trying both, I chose LM for the same reasons 
  you've outlined here. I find it fast, convenient, accessible, and so far 
  compatible with all my needs.
