[NFBCS] E-Mail Issues Again, Mail Client Suggestions Please

[Ed Barnes]

Hi Peter, whether it is in the context of my job or personally as it
is in this case, I still stand by the suggestions I gave you regarding
the issues you were having with Ms Outlook's unresponsive nature a few
days ago whether you liked them or not, I don't much care. The
suggestions are based upon my work experience providing IT/desktop
support for the provincial government in NL Canada where I live for
the past 15 years and 3 years prior to that providing technical
support to xwave which is now a part of the large Canadian telco Bell.
I would have thought that you would be eager to follow my suggestions
considering that the suggestions were free and based upon "real world
experience" vs telling me that you had to wait to upgrade to windows
11 to uninstall and re-install office 365 which just means you wait
longer to solve your own problem.
 If you want suggestions of other mail clients which are not "dumbed
down" as you put it when comparing outlook to for example windows
mail, the suggestions you get in return will likely be "dumbed down"
when comparing them to outlook if you are looking for something that
is free.
In my opinion, if you compare them "side by side", it is not fair to
compare Outlook with Eudora or Thunderbird as outlook has many
features which the other programs do not.
In concluding, I think you will be hard pressed to solve your own
problem is you don't want to take advice that is tried and true from
people who work in the IT field whether that advice is from me or from
other members on this list.
Thanks and best regards,
Ed Barnes
