Looking for freeware POP3 mail client

[WannaFly]

Hey everyone, i figured this was the place to go. I've been using eudora 2.1 FOREVER, I love it. But it has some problems with my new mail server, so i am looking for a new mail program. It needs to be freeware and I would like it NOT to support HTML or scripting of any kind. I just want plain 'ole email. Any ideas? Thanks.

Mozilla. It has a nice feature in that it can 'strip' HTML mail down to plain text, you get the plain text message without any HTML tags littering it.

yes Mozilla is very nice and so is Opera

I'll take a look at it - Mozilla is a web browser..right? I guess it has an email client built in then?

 

[Nothinman]

It has both.

Take a look at Foxmail and Pegasus too. They're both standalone email clients.

igowerf, thanks, standalone clients are more of what i was looking for. I'll check both of those out

Mozilla mail can be used without the browser, it's not embedded or anything.

I'll look into mozilla, but i'd hate to have to install a new browser to have a mail client. Thats kind of like having to install AOL to get access to the internet

Mozilla isn't anywhere near as intrusive as AOL, and frankly I like Mozilla better than IE =)

I agree with Nothinman, Mozilla is an excellent browser, email, etc. package, so it should be exactly what you need. Besides how can you beat a browser that has tabs, can stop popups, blocks images, etc.
