Ok, some know I've been out of this a while...
I want to hear advice on which pop3 mail program to use so I can have a different account for the incoming mail from my domain host than the outgoing mail account from my provider. The outgoing mail needs to have the domain account show up on the "from" line. well.. Outlook is doing that ...but...... I have to set-up an account for each domain incoming email from my sites and then set-up an additional outgoing account so I can send back a reply with the .... .. and ..... well ..... it sux!........ you get the drift!
What are you other guys and gals doing????
******
Edited in: I'm using hostSave and have changed my outgoing to smtp.(insert mydomain).com
and it hasn't faulted out yet but I haven't received my test mails back
after several minutes... it could be snail mail.... I'll report back.
Next edit in: Ok it does work to use the smtp.domainmain.com at
hostSave.. you just have to go get burger for lunch and come back
to see if the test sample went through.... LOL.... it has been ok
there except for that...
I still want suggestions to improve over this hacker port called Outlook

The worst suggestion of a life time may be the catalyst to the grandest idea ever, speak and listen.

I have been using Eudora for 7 years now. I'm not sure if the setup would be simpler than outlook, however, I have never worried about viruses in e-mails with Eudora. Becasue of this, with my virus software I have e-mail virus checking shut off. The only way one would hurt me is by me manually opening an attachment (which would affect you no matter what e-mail you use, and a good virus program should protect you there).
With Eudora, I can create one account to gather all my incoming mail, then I set up an account for the different "from"'s I want for outgoing, so probably the same at outlook.
With eudora, I also have it set to not display e-mails as HTML and not to grab images linked to in the messages. Protects me pretty well I think. With 7 domain names, I get roughly 800 e-mails a day, most get filtered right to trash though. So when I do come across a message that does display better as HTML, and I know who it came from, I can just do "SENT TO BROWSER" to display the whole thing. Some people don't realize that those images that are in junk mail can be used to track that you actually views that message.
At the office, becasue of pricing, I have started installing Mozilla Thunderbird, seems to be as nice as Eudora.

I'm with Abhishek on that one. Thunderbird is brilliant.
I have to use Outlook at work due to "company policy" but at home I use Thunderbird and it's got all the good stuff from Outlook and none of the crap (but it is expandable if you want to add some extra crap in!).

Outlook works for me, I have everything there from my calender to contacts. My pocket pc sychronizes with it so i can work virtually anywhere. I like it
