Hunts For Email Program

[rex]

i'd been hunting for an email program with little success.

i need an email program that's small (under 2meg), support imap & ssl and multiple account.
should run on win98 with p233mmx and 32mb ram.
preferably can runs off flash disk

most small email do not support imap and/or ssl.
even some bigger mail progs dont support these.

is any exist?

t.i.a.

Can't find an app with those exact requests.
Popcorn (http://www.ultrafunk.com/products/popcorn/) (100kb) is a lightweight e-mail client for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.
Works as a client/server application, reading mail "directly" from POP servers.
Send and receive mail using secure SSL encrypted server connections.

Pimmy (http://www.geminisoft.com/en/pimmy/) Your personal postman. (400kb)
IMAP4, RSS and ATOM support,

Have you tried the older versions on this site for Eudora?

tried already.

popcorn: very good. too bad no imap.
pimmy: rss&atom is nice to have. weird interface, difficult to understand it. no ssl.

just found an alternative solution.

i found becky. quite cool mail program.
it have option to sync to usb flashdrive. aint that cool...??

but, originally, it's quite large. almost 3megs by itself.
so i try the old proven upx stuff and compress one huge b2.exe file
from about 2.6megs to 888k.

now, it's really small. total just a little above 1meg.


another one i found, already small one.
koomail.

it said it can also download hotmail. nice thing to have.
but, i never success in downloading from my hotmail account...
real nice if this works. also, if it can do yahoo...??

Sounds good, hows about dropping a link for those found apps.

[rex]

links.. off course...

http://www.rimarts.co.jp/ - becky
http://www.koomail.com koomail


btw.

something 'stupid' happen when downloading gmail.
all email, including the sent items, were download.

i tried with other mail program, same thing happen. my sent item also download.


maybe it's because gmail is not pure pop3 compliant ??

Maybe you try JBMail - http://jbmail.pc-tools.net
I'm using it everyday, and I like it very much.

yes i like it too..
but again... no imap.

googling for becky plugins...
just found out interesting thing about becky!
it got lots of plug-ins. (too bad, most the web in japanese)

with plugins, you can add rss feed, usenet, hotmail, etc....
very cool...

I checked out the links offered here (Pimmy is a possibility) and I am not sure if I should stick with my old email program Netscape (really like the features), or re-try Thunderbird (I wasn't real impressed) or buy one- Eudora? I would not even consider an Outlook program.

I am looking for a program to install on my desktop. I have a few freemail accts that I read online so I don't need that feature.
But I would like to be able to send from a specific email address, depending on which Eartlink/isp addy I used.
any suggestions for the simple? :confused:

u can download the windows live hotmail program but sadly it only works on DAMN WINDOWS XP!!!:mad:
WHY DOES EVERYTHING ONLY WORK ON WINDOWS XP???!!!

WHY DOES EVERYTHING ONLY WORK ON WINDOWS XP???!!!
Maybe because it's the "most matured" operating system from microsoft.
By the way, i think mozilla thunderbird is one of the best email clients for windows, IMHO.
