Can't find an app with those exact requests.
  • 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 Your personal postman. (400kb)
    IMAP4, RSS and ATOM support,

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

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...??

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.

Default Also looking for an email program...

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?
