From: Russ Valentine on 9 Apr 2010 17:03 Indeed. I missed the start of the thread and didn't realize the OP was looking for a web based solution. -- Russ Valentine "Tom Willett" <tom(a)youreadaisyifyoudo.com> wrote in message news:OPI6QWC2KHA.4336(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > But, you still need an email client of some sort to use it, such as > Thunderbird. > "Russ Valentine" <russval(a)mvps.org> wrote in message > news:eIPxcIC2KHA.5796(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > : Correction: Gmail provides both POP and IMAP.

You said: | Windows Vista and 7 include Windows Mail, which replaced Outlook Express ... Which is not true, as the Windows 7, which comes in the retail box shipped by Microsoft does not include any email client. Furthermore you state: | Otherwise, I would recommend Google's Gmail. The implication of which is that Gmail is an email client which can be used in place of Windows Mail, or Windows Live Mail. Gmail ***IS NOT*** an email client, it is an email service. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
