I'm currently using mail.app for Mac OS X, but I realize that doesn't help the Windows folks. It threads messages and completes names and never, ever ever crashes. Works seamlessly with my PDA (Treo 650 smartphone - Palm OS) in importing contact information. MS Outlook can organize into threads (I use it on a PC at work) and Entourage is even better, though feature bloated and slow, IMHO. Eudora felt like driving a MG, all speed and handling, but not an overly nice interface. It sure could do EVERYTHING though. I didn't like the freeware ads, so I bought it and used it for a long time while I was using Mac OS 9.x and below. Haven't used it in years, but it was a good app. There you have it! <grin> Borgy On May 25, 2006, at 4:25 AM, Conrad Hoffsommer wrote: > At 03:25 5/25/2006, you wrote: >> Steve Borgstrom wrote : >> > Get a decent mail application that organizes email into threads >> where >> > you can delete a whole thread if you want. >> >> Which do you call "a decent mail application" ? give us names... ;-) >> and why do you call it decent ? what can you do that you can't >> with wich >> other ? >> >> Philippe Errembault > > > I think that most mailers have a filter option.
