I know this is really off topic but please pander to my whim. Does anybody know of a good free (preferably open source or gpl'd) secure email client for Windows 2k/xp? I'm sick to death of the various flavours of Outlook/OE etc. It would be nice to be able to download mail when I *have* to use Windows without always worring about the gaping holes in security. -- Cheers, BJ

I've just seen this discussed on a BBS and the conclusion was that there isn't a good stable Free Software email client for that, unless you're willing to install an Emacs and learn Gnus. Even the cost-free ones on there have defects which were listed at great length, it seems.

Come on, John, how do you arrive at the "*have* to use" conclusion? ;-)

I'm gobspacked to get a reply about Windows from you Mark! Is this a fist? :-)

I have to run some bespoke software (Open University) sometimes, and my Mrs. is locked into the MS Office thingy due to work and its too complicated and too much agro to get her or her employer to change, although I'm trying to wean her off it and onto OpenOffice.org 1.0. -- Cheers, BJ

I'd come to a similar conclusion the second after I'd clicked send! :-) -- Cheers, BJ

I ruled out Pegasus as I used to use it many moons ago and hated it, but I'm willing to give it another chance. -- Cheers, BJ

I always thought Eudora was a commercial app, hence the reason I didn't reply to this thread. But I would agree with Simon, Eudora is very good. I've worked in a couple of software houses that make Eudora mandatory as opposed to Outlook due to it not running stupid VB scripts etc. -Quantum- On Saturday 18 May 2002 00:16, Simon Parkes wrote:
