Need New Email Client

(1/1)

mobrien_12:
As I posted before,(Outlook) Outlook is not standards compliant and won't read email attachments sent by Pine.  

This is becoming a serious problem for me because many Windows users typically respond in one or more of the following ways:
[*]Don't believe me,[*]Don't want to patch their MS software,[*]Don't want to hear that their MS software has a bug, [*]Blame me for using a "non-standard" product (meaning, in their minds, something that doesn't work right with broken MS software).
[/list]

I can't tell them to stop using Outlook and I can't not deal with them.  I need a new email client that has the following properties
[*]  Encrypted password support.[*] IMAP based.[*] Does not download all messages from the server, but downloads them one-at-a-time on demand and does not store a local copy (this is extremely important).[*] Works in console mode (e.g. over an SSH connection with vt100 emulation).   [*] Has a naitive windows and Linux version.
[/list]

In other words, I want something that works like Pine but will deal with broken MS software.  

Any suggestions?

KernelPanic:
I think Mozilla Thunderbird may fit the bill but I don't know it's configuration inside and out.

Personally I use
sylpheed-claws exclusively, but that doesn't work on windows.
