It's been several years since I was looking at email clients--I run Outlook, myself--and I am no longer current on what is available. I was wondering if anyone would care to recommend one?
Here are the criteria I’m trying to meet:
--runs on Windows 7 64-bit
--free is good but not mandatory; however, price can’t be over $100 and if it requires pay, it should be for a lifetime license (i.e. can be reinstalled if needed)
--would like to avoid “cloud” solutions, online browser-based solutions, and anything from Microsoft
--would like to be able to import emails from an Outlook 2010 .pst file
--not Thunderbird or based on its code base
The user is non-technical and I’m hoping this can be an install-and-walk-away project. I don’t really want to be support for it, but at the same time, I’m a unix engineer, and I can handle a difficult install—if it needs gtk+ packages to run on Windows, for example, I can handle that. I just don’t want to have to do too much to it after the fact.
I wish there was a stable Evolution port for Windows. Looks like OpenSuSE was working on one but it’s not in a stable state and looks like they abandoned it. Evolution would be perfect except that all the stable versions are linux and BSD. Oh well.
I've had bad experiences with Thunderbird crashing and destroying its data files, so I would like to avoid that program and others that are based on it.
Any thoughts? As always, I appreciate any input from the community.
