Hello Faraz: I cannot give you first-hand experience with anything other than MS Outlook, which is what I have used for many years and still use in its 2016 version, but there are many other options, as I read from time to time on the email lists.
Thunderbird, WLM and a modified version of Outlook Express come to mind, but wouldn't it be more practical to update Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 instead and use the built-in email client? I never used Windows 8.1, went from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but with the exception of MaPlEr, every other program worked in Windows 10 and works well. We all have a natural reluctance to change, but are also often pleseantly surprised after taking the plunge. As an example, I hadn't updated Chicken Nugget for quite a while, just went to version 4.2 and it is much better, works perfectly well with Jaws.

I am using windows live mail for my gmail and hotmail accounts. couple of days before my hotmail synchronization was stopped, after research I found they have updated my account and I configured it with imap settings but from that day its not working properly, for example it is taking too long to synch with my account and most of the time it wont download my complete messages. I am trying to download an attachment since morning and it wont even open that message either allow me to reply on it. it is giving me error “windows live mail finding solution on internet” and after it close the client. I am wondering if someone have its fix or suggest me any other accessible email client with installation/configuration instructions which I could use as its alternate ? best, Faraz.
