Windows Email Clients?
At the moment I’m looking to begin using a local email client on Windows again. I was going to use Mozilla’s Thunderbird, but it appears to be rather bloated, and apparently fails at finding emails when there’s a few thousand to search through.
What I need is something lightweight that treats email correspondances as conversations (a la Gmail) and can synchronise with web email services (Gmail, Zimbra, etc).
So, what should I use?
I’m not aware of one that treats e-mails as conversations like Gmail does… then again I haven’t been following this very closely since I got frustrated and just switched to using Gmail webmail.
If you’re gonna use Zimbra, I recommend you use IMAP(S) with it.
Having everything perfectly in sync, wherever you go, is just great!
Thunderbird is a bit bloated though…
