has anyone tried the Qmail3 http://q3.snak.org/en/ ?
listed at the site for 64 bit software
http://www.start64.com/

I'm on XpPro 64bit at the moment and looking forward to the Windows7 arrival
but I was looking around for an alternative e-mail and newsreader
(alternative to WLM). Noticed this start64.com site has a newsreader as
well.

Just wondered if anyone had tried these.

or else you can use the neat Windows Live Mail which you can download for
free directly from the MS website

Go to www.microsoft.com and look for Windows Live, and when you download the
little installer, it will prompt you which programs you want. Messenger,
Live Mail, Picture viewer, ...

That's the program we all seem to be using here.

erm.... I thought she was looking for an "alternative to WLM" as stated in
the post. I would assume WLM = Windows Live Mail.

Rose - even though they say 64 bit is not supported, it works just fine for
me.

Do they have any supporting documents in English?

If you want English documentation try Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm using it
in Win 7 currently, but I have never seen any problem with it in any
version of Windows. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/

I tried Thunderbird yesterday and after including some newgroups the
software stopped responding. It wasn't the server (cnews corel) for I could
open OE and that server was in action.
Mail placed in the Unsent (since there isn't an outbox) left a copy in that
box after the mail was sent.
Each person in my address book required editing for 'html' messages if an
image was to be inline.
The latter two items I could lie with but the unresponding didn't impress
<grin>
There is a new version 3 Thunderbird on the horizon and perhaps there will
even be 64 bit coming along.

I tried Windows Live Mail earlier in this year on Xp and it was pretty but I
didn't care for the style of duplicate folders. I guess I have to give it a
second look.

Not know the details of your installation I can't comment as to why
Thunderbird would stop responding. I have been using it for newsgroups
for at least 5 or 6 years and have never encountered such a problem.

I guess when you start from scratch with Thunderbird there can be some
tweaking needed. I have been using it for so long I can't even remember
when it was. The 64-bit version is virtually identical to the 32-bit.
It can be downloaded as a Beta from:
http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Thunderbirdownload

I have been running it on Win XP & 7 x64 for a year or two.

Rose,

If you go to Newsgroups: corel.PaintShopProX you will see that I have
responded to one of your old posts using Mozilla Thunderbird. The
problem is not Thunderbird, but your settings are apparently incorrect.

Rose,

You apparently don't have your settings correct. I just subscribed two
Corel news groups in Thunderbird and they work perfectly - Thunderbird
does not become unresponsive.

I can even read posts by RoseW.

I saw your post in the Corel newsgroups and responded <grin>
This link that you gave above isn't the one that I downloaded.
I'll give that v3 (x86-64) a try.
Thanks for the input.

Hello!

Thanks for the link. It's nice to see native 64-bit email client.
BTW, here is another interesting email client (it seems that only x86): PostBox
http://webworkerdaily.com/2009/03/04...-with-postbox/

Regards, Roman

P.S. Here is x64 Thunderbird: http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Thunderbirdownload
