Don't like the idea of Windows potentially being able to look at all my private info. Thoughts on a good email client that would work with Windows 7?
I'll second that. Thunderbird. It rocks. Be sure to get Lightning, the integrated calender add on.
Agreed. I don’t even use google as a search engine. AltaVista and WebFerret work just fine, and don’t require any compromise of ethics.
surfer is correct, but he’s too kind; GOOGLE HATES AMERICA. How is it that some don’t know this? (please don’t force me to consider the other possibility: that some among us don’t really care) America has made “G” (to speak their name makes me sick) who they are today, but “G” hates the USA like a typical ungrateful progressive liberal child would disdain a good mother.
GOOGLE DELENDA EST!

that was a great response...definite LOL
I see you are a historian...perspective is everything.
With fizzies...
Thunderbird 3.1 or Outlook 2011.
Yep, Thunderbird is an excellent choice. I just installed it on my neighbor’s new WindoZ 7 computer. It was a little different on the setup from previous versions I had used. It detected a SMTP server where I needed to set up a POP3 e-mail setup. Had to delete the setup and manually setup the POP3. I suspect the mail server had the option of SMTP for their employees.
Beautiful mail client with more options than you really need.
And of course it is much less likely to be compromised than Outlook or Outlook Express was.
Thunderbird 2. T’bird 3 is a disappointment. Or, Gmail or Yahoo mail. The benefit there is that you can access your email from anywhere.

I use Opera. It is a very fast browser with email capabilities built-in...there are a number of other pretty handy utilities included. Definitely worth a look...

Well apparently you have some criminal activity to hide? Better not use any electronic communication at all...computers, cell phones, whatever all is traceable btw the nsa is to be feared more than goog
Still using Eudora 6.0 with XP and still works great.

Fizzies! I haven’t seen those in just about forever!
TB had a fresher look, multiple POP support and profiles, so I figured I'd try it out. After getting everyone in the family converted and trained I think we all still like it overall. It has had it share of quirks and bugs that I've found over the years that should not have made it out of beta testing.
The good news (or bad depending on your perspective) is that Eudora is going to use the TB core with a Eudora look/interface. So you might get the best of both worlds. I don't know how this is going to turn out, since I don't use Eudora anymore.
