Simply put, there isn't one at all !!

An email client software is another name for something commonly known as a headache. Basically, what the tiele here is tryin to say is that if you are looking for something called’The best e mail client’.then you might as well keep looking.

I mean I know, that I might sound a bit naive in saying that a good e mail client doesn’t exist, but truly, I’ve tried out a few, and the’ve all got the same problem.they suck.

Basically, Microsoft’s Outlook Express and Outlook are supposedly the most popular ones around. I haven’t really tried out Eudora and that why I will stay shut on that. Basically, the bigest problem that all email clients face is compatibility. What I mean to say is that you can use an email client to retrieve emails *if and only if* your email account provider allows you to do so. If you are not very well versed with the ways of the net, then to put it in a layman’s language.you gotta shell out the moolah, the green stuff, in other words, your’khoon paseene ki kamaai’. A few providers like Hotmail, Yahoo and a few others allow you to do your stuff for free, while most others like Lycos etc need you to pay for the’Premium’ service.

So basically, if you need to use an email client, you have to first buy one, then you have to pay your provider for accessing the mails. Now, considering that you are a really rich person.that won’t be a great problem, right?.WRONG.

The second big prob is **spam**. Yup. It takes quite a long time for you yto download emails, unless of course, you’ve got a really FAST connection.which you do not have, I bet! Then, llok at the situation in this way. I’ve got an email account which is totally spammed with.SPAM. I mean, every two days I check my email and there are about 30 new messages, of which, atleast 28 are spam. Now, if I am using the client, I’ll have to download all 30 mails, when I need only one or two. Look at the waste of time and money. You may still wanna use a client, just for the heck of it. But hey! If you’ve got so much money, why don’t you slide a lil bit of it this way too. I could use it.

Last, but not the least, is the security problem. you must be knowing that the most deadly and the most destructive viruses in recent times have all spread through email, and mostly through people using email clients. You may update your software as much as you want, but the hackers are invariably always one step ahead.

Concluding.I have to agree that though email clients may be a help in some cases, by and large, they are nothing more than headaches. I’ll give you a bright idea if you are very lazy to check you email. Hire somebody to do it for you. It’ll definitely be cheaper than paying for the client and the provider!
