Email Clients
What are Email Clients?
Email clients contains the user interface for the management of your email. Different clients exist for different operating systems and they differ on features and look-and-feel. Most useful clients support the following features:
  • Multiple folders. You can file email from different people into different folders. This makes for easy retrieval and organization.
  • Address book. An address book allows you to refer to email addresses as names you can remember. You can also create mailing lists consisting of several email addresses.
  • Sorting features. This allows your email to be sorted according to date received, sender, subject, etc.
  • Support for attachments. This allows you to attach files in your email.

How do I decide which Email Client is right for me?
One usually decides between features and reliability. Simple ones are usually more stable while more complex ones may crash your system. The right client for you may depend on some of the following choices:

  • Reading HTML documents. Some email clients can read HTML documents without opening a browser.
  • Mail filtering. This feature allows you to manipulate your email based on rules available from the client. If the characteristics of an incoming email matches a rule, a certain action will be performed on the email. Actions include moving email into different folders, moving email into the trash for unwanted email, auto forwarding, and more. More advanced clients have more complicated rules.
  • Supports for different fonts. Some clients allow you to compose email in different fonts and colors. If the client reading your email doesn't support the same fonts, the person reading the email will not see the formatted text.
  • Spell checking. Some email clients can check your spelling before a message is delivered.
  • Other integration options. Some clients, such as Outlook, integrate a calendar with email. You can set up the client to send reminder emails.
