    None of the items listed in this poll are CLIENTS they are services
    A e-mail Client would be PINE, Thunderbird, Outlook etc

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I use my own domain... @monkeyfudge.com and for work I use my company's domain.

    I don't have a need for anything else... I might have a gmail lying about somewhere as I was curious to see what all the fuss was about.

    When I first connected to the internet 10 years ago I had an @iol.ie address as there really wasn't much else out there at the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy



    But Gmail is good. All the same really :rolleyes:

    If you didn't delete any then yes, 10 megs filled no bother. That's what I like about gmail, you don't have to go deleting anything.

    i never delete the good ole emails from my friends...brings back memories....

    Plus the deleted e-mails are always the ones that have some piece on info that will be needed at a later date as has happened more than once to yours truly.

    Hence gmail is nice and handy.

    Own domains for receiving.

    Old (pre-Microsoft) Hotmail account with spoofed headers (to match my domains) for sending (you can't do this on modern hotmail accounts).

    Pegasus as a client.

    My own domain via Eircom, because that is who I happen to be connected via at the moment, and then Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail...

    And using a combination of Outlook, Thunderbird and web access.

    Mostly Hotmail. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 355 ✭✭Sarunas


    Use redbrick(dcus netsoc) with mutt, sometimes with thunderbird or SquirrelMail.

    Used to use eircom with mutt. But I don't use eircom accounts for anything anymore, so just check it with thunderbird once every few weeks.

    Have a gmail account but don't use it.

    use hotmail mostly nowadays especially with the 250 MB limit now so happy days :), have gmail but hardly use that and my indigo account is crap, all i get is spam with that account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Gone West


    Hotmail
    How about
    Missing option
    "none of these are CLIENTS, you insensitive clod"


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Does nobody have an ISP-provided mail account? I can't stand webmail, it's invariably slow and crap. Anyone with any sense stores all their mail locally anyway, no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭Sarn


    My own domain and work domain all checked with outlook express.
